Southern Quality Propane adds Woods Propane in North Florida expansion

Southern Quality Propane (SQP), one of the nation’s fastest-growing independent propane companies, has acquired Woods Propane, expanding its presence in North Florida.

Woods Propane joined SQP in January and is based in Jasper, Florida, serving customers throughout Hamilton County and surrounding areas.

“For us, growth has never been about consolidation for consolidation’s sake,” says Brent Henson, president of SQP. “It’s about partnering with local operators who share our values and who believe, like we do, that local customers deserve local service. Bringing Woods Propane into the SQP family strengthens our ability to serve North Florida with the reliability, responsiveness and independence our customers expect.”

Woods Propane has served the Jasper and Hamilton County communities for years.

“After more than 40 years in the propane business, I know how important trust and local relationships are,” says Marty Woods, former owner of Woods Propane. “I’ve long respected the Williams family and what they’ve built with Southern Quality Propane. Joining SQP allows us to keep doing what we’ve always done – serving our neighbors well, maintaining independent operations and offering fair pricing that makes sense for this community. This area deserves hometown service, not a large outside company making decisions from far away.”

Founded on small-town values, SQP is headed by a woman-owned, veteran-led leadership team and focuses on supporting locally operated propane businesses.

Based in Thomasville, Georgia, SQP operates multiple regional offices across South Georgia and North Florida. The company provides residential, commercial and agricultural propane services, including scheduled deliveries, inspections, maintenance and emergency response.
