Dead River Co. opens propane storage facility
Dead River Co., a home heating products retailer in New England, expanded business by adding a propane storage plant in Bridgton, Maine. The company says the plant can hold 30,000 gallons of propane to serve customers in the Lakes Region area.
John Yates, Dead River Co. branch manager for the Bridgton plant, says propane use increased in the Lakes Region area the last few years. He adds that the closest other bulk plant was an hour away.
“It was important for Dead River to have product closer to demand,” Yates says. “Now, we can guarantee speedier delivery to more customers.”
