Chamber Member Spotlight: ThompsonGas

Successful companies don’t just happen. On the contrary, commercial success requires nurturing, year after year, to ensure customer expectations are not only met but also exceeded.

That’s the story of this week’s Chamber Member Spotlight, ThompsonGas.

This company traces its beginnings to 1946 when Lloyd Thompson founded the business in Boonsboro, Maryland. They’ve served that small farming community for more than seven decades with a commitment to service and a reputation for strong family values. Today, ThompsonGas is one of the top 10 propane companies in the United States, providing propane services to residential and commercial customers nationwide and delivering fair propane prices consistently on an annual basis.

ThompsonGas has 1,100 employees and provides propane and propane appliances as well as service and installation of their products. The company was formerly TruFlame Gas Company, which was acquired by ThompsonGas this past September. The business still has the same employees that TruFlame had, and they all live in the local community. Although the name changed, it’s still the same local propane company with a goal to be the most trusted name in the industry.

ThompsonGas understands customers have a choice when it comes to their utilities, and that’s why the company continually does its best to ensure their propane is the most affordable solution to power your home. ThompsonGas is more than a “9 to 5” business, thanks to its 24/7 emergency service. Without a doubt, the customer has always been and will continue to be the brand’s No. 1 priority. Further, ThompsonGas doesn’t just prioritize the customer but also the community. They have recently joined the chamber to let the public know they’re part of the community and desire to be more involved. One of the most current ways they’ve done this is by helping sponsor the 75th Annual Pine Tree Festival.
