Phelan Gas sells in Southern California

October 24, 2025 By Brian Richesson 0 Comments

Phelan Gas Co., located in Phelan, California, sold to an undisclosed buyer.

Legacy Energy Consulting, a mergers and acquisitions advisory firm, announced the completion of the sale.

Dustin Shafer founded Phelan Gas in 2009 after discovering the need for a local propane delivery company to serve Phelan and the surrounding communities. Having a family history in the propane industry, he acquired a piece of property and installed a bulk plant, establishing the company.

“After 15 years of building Phelan Gas Co. into a business I was proud of, I decided it was time to sell,” Shafer says. “Chad and Tyler [Pendill] of Legacy Energy Consulting made the process seamless and successful. Their expertise and dedication shone through as they found the perfect buyer who shared our commitment to exceptional customer service and a strong employee culture.”

Chad Pendill, founder and president of Legacy Energy Consulting, adds, “Dustin built a tremendous business in the Southern California market that he can be proud of, and it was a pleasure getting to know him and his family and represent them in the sale of their business.”

Legacy Energy Consulting provided Phelan Gas with a full suite of merger and acquisition services. These included conducting the initial valuation, discreetly marketing the company to prospective buyers through an organized and efficient sale process, negotiating the final terms of the deal and overseeing the due diligence undertaken by both seller and buyer.

The transaction, managed by Chad Pendill and Tyler Pendill, represents the fifth transaction completed by Legacy Energy Consulting in 2025 and the 26th since 2020.

Legacy Energy Consulting was established in 2020 by Chad Pendill, a propane industry veteran with over 35 years, and his son Tyler Pendill. The firm specializes in offering merger and acquisition services to propane and refined fuel businesses across the nation.
