Mr. Propane Heats Up Trade Show Booth During Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Expo

Rancho Murieta, CA, April 07, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Dan Warner, known to most people as “Propane” of the “Energy Guys” commercials, visited the 1st Propane Franchising tradeshow booth during the 2007 Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Expo (HPBExpo) in Reno, Nevada.

The lighthearted “Energy Guys” commercials, sponsored by the Propane Education and Research Council, feature “Propane” (Warner), a confident, capable guy, and “Electricity” (John Hemphill), a less assured character who is confused about why propane is taking over some of his responsibilities. The commercials currently can be seen on several major cable television networks.

1st Propane Franchising exhibited at the HPBExpo to deliver its message about the advantages for Hearth and Patio product retailers to add propane service to their product lines. These retailers typically refer this service to local propane dealers and miss the ongoing profit available from future propane sales on the appliances they sell.

The HPBExpo is an annual show sponsored by the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association (HPBA).
