About Fischer LP Gas
Where we came from.
​
Mark and Teresa Fischer began Fischer LP Gas in 1987. The company's purpose was to fill small cylinders for local residents, campers and propane grills. However, they quickly saw a need to expand their business to service residential propane tanks.
​
In 1991, Fischer LP invested in large propane tanks to begin installing at households. With a trailer and minimal equipment, they began servicing the small community of Wellston, Michigan.
​
Over the next 20 years the company stretched their borders, servicing customers within a 2-hour radius of their small hometown business.
​
​
Much of Mr. and Mrs. Fischer's success is rooted in being known as a "friendly, small-town business," having a business model based on serving the community like you serve your family.
