Eighty years of fueling homes and businesses across northern Indiana and southern Michigan — one family, one community at a time.
Built on trust, fueled by community
Established in 1946 as Foster-Franger Gas and Appliances, the company got its start supplying propane and appliances to returning World War II veterans. Franger Gas, Inc. has been fueling homes and businesses across Indiana and Michigan ever since — a family-owned, locally operated propane company built on dependable service, honest pricing, and a genuine commitment to the communities it serves.
What started as a regional propane supplier has grown into a full-service energy company — operating the Mentone Propane brand and backed by the Allpro Gas network — while maintaining the personal touch that sets local businesses apart from national chains.
In 2024, Franger Gas celebrated its 80th anniversary: decades of trust earned one customer at a time.
