DRIPPING SPRINGS — Pico Propane and Fuels celebrated its new Dripping Springs location with a ribbon cutting, alongside the Dripping Springs Chamber of Commerce, Thursday, Oct. 21.
Neighbors, local businesses and chamber members joined the Pico team for BBQ from Fireside Smokehaus, a nonprofit that creates safe spaces for veterans and first responders and drinks from local 12 Fox Beer Co.
Pico Propane and Fuels has been serving Texans since the 1970s and the new Dripping Springs location brings Pico’s propane and fuel services closer to homes, ranches and businesses in the area.
To celebrate the new location, Pico Propane and Fuels is offering homeowners a new customer promotion at just $1.75 per gallon on their first propane tank fill.
"We are proud to serve and call Dripping Springs home,” said Andy Deel, vice president of sales and marketing. “The new location offers services, including propane delivery, tank installation, tank monitoring with automatic delivery and generator sizing and installation.”
