Blossman Gas Inc. (Ocean Springs, Miss.) has acquired A & A Gas of Carrollton, Ga. A & A Gas, a family-owned propane company, has served customers since it opened in 1981. Details of the acquisition were not offered.

When A & A employee and family member Patrick Steed was asked about the decision to choose Blossman Gas for the sale, he stated, “It's been great to find another propane family such as Blossman that is as passionate about the propane industry, safety, and customer service as we are.”

The acquisition is a good fit for both companies. “This is an exciting acquisition,” said Stuart Weidie, president and CEO of Blossman Gas. “After 38 years of service and loyalty to their customers, we are pleased that A & A Gas selected Blossman Gas to transition their business.”
