At Smith-Bell Petroleum, we have had the pleasure of serving our customers for more than 80 years. Through countless world events, we have remained dedicated to providing a quality product with exceptional service.
Established as a local Shell Oil petroleum distributorship in Hall County, Smith-Bell’s territory expanded over the years to serve clients throughout Georgia, Tennessee, and South Carolina – offering numerous convenient store brands.
We strive to maintain a strong relationship with our customers. It is for this reason that Smith-Bell made the decision in 2016 to shift our focus from the large national brands to our local business partners. Today, in addition to operating as a bulk shipper on Colonial, Plantation, and Magellan Pipelines, Smith-Bell’s primary emphasis is on commercial fueling. Our partnership with Pacific Pride allows us to offer a fuel management solution designed to cut the total costs of fuel related operations for small and large businesses.

It’s often said that being treated like family is the ultimate sign of respect. Leslie learned firsthand from her father, John Nivens, about the importance of taking care of people. She has grown up in the Smith-Bell family, literally and figuratively, with a deep passion for the company’s tradition.
After receiving her Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Georgia, she began her career in the petroleum industry. For six years she served as the Brand Coordinator for Smith-Bell before going to work at a local non-profit. In 2015, Leslie returned to Smith-Bell working alongside her father to gain insight and knowledge for one day helping to lead the family business. Leslie appreciates time spent with family and friends and enjoys volunteering in the community with several non-profit organizations and events.
