Domo Corporation Ltd. (trading name: Domo) is a private Canadian gas retailer based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The company is owned by the Everett family of Winnipeg.

Operating over 90 retail outlets across western Canada,[3] Domo has 18 gas stations in Winnipeg—4 self-service stations and 14 full-service stations—as well as locations in Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia.

The company also sponsors a free public transit service (called the Domo Trolley) for Assiniboine Park, connecting it and Assiniboine Park Zoo to The Forks.[4][5]

History

The company, incorporated as Domo Gasoline Corporation Ltd., was founded in Winnipeg by Douglas Everett in 1958.[6] It originally began as one of two gas stations that operated as a division of the Everett family's Dominion Motors car dealership, from which the name Domo came from.[3][6][7]

The first Domo outlets were built on Safeway parking lots in the 1970s.[3] In the 1980s, Domo expanded to Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon, Regina, and Vancouver.[3]

During the 1990s, Domo's president and CEO was Everett's son-in-law Stuart Murray, who later became leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba.[6]
