History
The company, incorporated as Domo Gasoline Corporation Ltd., was founded in Winnipeg by Douglas Everett in 1958. 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.
The first Domo outlets were built on Safeway parking lots in the 1970s. In the 1980s, Domo expanded to Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon, Regina, and Vancouver.
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.
