Rmarts Shell has been part of Chicagoland since the days of full-service gasoline and repair bays. Today we pour bean-to-cup coffee, stock the coolers to the brim, and keep the same promise — taking great pride in taking care of people.
The Ontario & Dearborn store, c. 1963 — the second Rmarts location to open its doors.
The roots of Rmarts LLC took hold in 1951, at the busy intersection of Ohio and LaSalle in downtown Chicago. A dozen years later, in 1963, a second store opened at Ontario and Dearborn — and a small family business began to grow into a Chicagoland name.
In those early days the industry lived on full-service gasoline and auto repair. Mechanics in coveralls, attendants who washed your windshield, the smell of fresh asphalt and motor oil. Change came slowly, then all at once.
Open-faced coolers replaced the repair bays. Bean-to-cup coffee machines took the place of the lift. The business shifted from engines to essentials — but the responsibility stayed the same: progressively adapt to what our neighbors actually need.
Today, more than seventy years in, Rmarts is still family-owned and operated in the Chicagoland area. The pumps still hum. The coffee still pours hot. And we still take great pride in taking care of people.
Same family. Same corner. Same promise. Slide the handle to step between the Rmarts of yesterday and the store you'll find on your block today.
