NOCO Energy Corporation opens first stores in the City of Buffalo

In March 2014; NOCO bought out a privately owned gas station at Elmwood and Forest. In July, NOCO announced its takeover of another privately owned gas station on Lexington and Elmwood, as well as the Tim Hortons at that location. These being the first two NOCO owned stores in the city proper, NOCO is expected to take over more privately owned gas stations if these two locations do well.
