Bayshore, N.Y. (August 9, 2021) – Blue Peak Resources has announced the sale of StarLite Propane, of Bayshore, New York, to Ferrellgas, headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas.
StarLite Propane was founded in 1982 by John DiBiasi. With a solid background in construction, DiBiasi was urged by two close friends to enter into the propane business. Although he had no prior experience, DiBiasi had a strong work ethic and the desire to learn as much as he could as quickly as he could, plus he saw great potential for propane sales and service on Long Island. Nearly 40 years later the company has evolved into one of the premier propane companies in the New York metro area.
“I am very proud to see Ferrellgas continue to provide our customers with premier service and customer care,” said DiBiasi. “They are one of the top propane companies in the United States, with a long and extensive track record of propane expertise.”
He continued: “Working with John, Andy and Mike and their team at Blue Peak Resources was fantastic. They took the time to walk us through the process and help us find the right company to carry on our legacy. This was a very emotional time for me and my family. Now I can retire knowing that our employees and customers are in great hands.”
“I have known John for over 30 years and was thrilled and honored when he asked Blue Peak to help him with the sale of his business,” said John Armentano, partner, Blue Peak Resources. “We take great pride in helping our clients reach their personal and business goals.”
