More than 100 years ago my father would welcome new neighbors to the community with a warm smile and firm hand shake as he delivered coal in his horse-drawn cart. I have made it a point to continue the tradition of welcoming our new neighbors, despite the fact that the days of the horse-drawn cart are behind us. Today, our business has grown into the largest family-owned oil company in Connecticut. Our horse stables are now home to a fleet of modern service and delivery vehicles. Most important, we still make it a point to welcome our neighbors with a warm smile and handshake every chance we get. Please consider taking a few minutes to speak with a member of the Standard family and get to know us a little better. You can reach a customer service representative 24 hours a day, every day of the year at 800.822.3835. I am confident that you will find our commitment to excellence and level of service to be unparalleled in the industry. Standard Coal and Charcoal Company is founded by Irving Friedman offering customers superior quality Jeddo-Highland coal that burns longer with less ash. Standard becomes the leading supplier of high quality coal throughout Bridgeport and Stratford.
