Portable Propane Tank Refilling

Pepper · 05-28-2010, 02:29 PM

Hubby was out and about running errands yesterday and saw a small sign on Court Street (Route 3 in Laconia) advertising propane just ahead on the left. He was already planning on getting our tank refilled, so he thought "wow, how convenient!" It turns out this very nice man (Dan, or maybe Dave ~ hubby's memory for names isn't so great) is operating the propane facility at the old Aubuchon Hardware location.

They chatted for a while, and hubby discovered he'll also be setting up his own propane exchange as well. And, it turns out that it cost only $14.99 to fill the same tank we're accustomed to spending $16.99 to fill! The best part of all is you don't have to go wait in lines inside a store, just pull up and fill up.

The long story short is this is a nice local guy who's just starting out and could certainly use lots of customers! I realize this is out of the way for some, but many of us travel that section of Route 3 regularly. Let's see if we can't all support a local enterprise striking out in these very tough economic times.

Happy Memorial Day weekend to you all ~ get out there and do plenty of grillin'!
