Reliable Energy, Fuel and Local Service Across Northern Minnesota
Propane delivery, bulk fuels, C-stores and member-focused service from a cooperative built around the communities it serves.
Energy and Services You Can Count On
Practical solutions. Local people. Cooperative values.
You’re Not Just a Customer. You’re an Owner.
Unlike national companies, Northern Star is a member-owned cooperative. When you do business with us, you’re investing in your local community while enjoying the benefits of membership.
As a member-owner, eligible purchases may earn patronage that can be allocated back to your equity account. Over time, the Board of Directors may approve equity retirements, returning cash to members while keeping Northern Star strong for future generations.

Patronage

What Our Customers Say
Friendly local service that keeps our communities moving.
Deer River“Love this gas station! You can still pay inside, the rewards program is great, and being a co-op member means I receive money back through patronage. I don’t buy gas anywhere else.”
— Sarah M.
