Franger Gas – Serving Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan for Over 75 Years
In today’s world of corporate mergers and call centers, the words “family-owned” and “local” carry a lot of weight. At Franger Gas, they’re not just words—they are the heart of who we are. Since 1946, we’ve built our reputation one customer at a time, delivering propane with integrity, care, and a personal touch. Being family-owned and local means more than heritage. It shapes how we serve you every day.
What Does “Family-Owned and Local” Really Mean?
To us, being family-owned and local isn’t a marketing line—it’s a promise. Here’s what that really looks
like at Franger Gas:
- Real people—not a corporate machine.
Our leadership team lives here, works here, and shops at the same stores you do. We’re not driven by distant executives or shareholders—we’re guided by values, not volume. - Decisions made with heart.
When you’ve been around as long as we have, you learn that long-term relationships and trust matter more than short-term profits. We treat customers like neighbors—because they are. - No call centers.
When you call Franger Gas, you’re talking to someone from your own community—not someone reading from a script in another state. We know your name, your service history, and how to help. - Walk-in welcome.
We have real offices, and we love when customers stop by. You can speak to a real person face- to-face—no appointment or automated ticket required.
These aren’t extras; they are the foundation of how we operate.
A Legacy Built on Service
Franger Gas was founded as Foster-Franger Gas and Appliances to serve returning World War II veterans. Over the years, we’ve grown and evolved—adding locations, capabilities, and services—but never losing sight of our mission: delivering exceptional energy solutions with hometown care.
We now serve Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan with propane for residential, commercial, and wholesale customers. And through every expansion, one thing has remained the same: our dedication to our customers and our community.
The Benefits You Can Count On
Choosing a family-owned, local propane provider comes with real advantages. At Franger Gas, you
benefit from:
Accountability every time
You know who you’re working with—and we take that responsibility seriously.
Fast, responsive service
We’re just around the corner, not halfway across the country. When you need us, we are there.
Personalized care
We tailor our programs, like Automatic-Fill and Guaranteed Pricing, to fit your needs and lifestyle.
Community investment
Every dollar you spend with Franger Gas stays local. We support local jobs, sponsor events, and give back to the communities we serve.
Why Local Business and Local Service Matters More Than Ever
As national chains continue to buy up smaller propane providers, it can be tempting to think bigger is better. But with size often comes distance—both literally and figuratively. It’s easy to lose that personal connection when you are just another account in a database.
At Franger Gas, we believe you shouldn’t have to sacrifice personal service for competitive pricing. We work hard to deliver both. We’re proud to be independent, and proud to serve our community with the kind of service that only comes from knowing and caring about the people we serve.
“Large Enough to Serve, Small Enough to Care”
That’s not just our motto, it is our everyday approach. With the capacity to meet large-scale propane needs and the flexibility to respond quickly, Franger Gas is uniquely positioned to serve both residential and commercial customers without ever losing our personal touch.
We’re big enough to do the job right—and small enough to care about doing it well. We believe that propane service should never feel impersonal. That’s why we offer:
- Automatic-Fill Programs so you don’t have to worry.
- Guaranteed Price Programs to protect your budget.
- Comprehensive Installation and Support for our Commercial Customers.
- Hands-on support from our staff—no corporate red tape, just real help when you need it.
