Ferrellgas will acquire rival propane retailer Gasco Energy Supply.
Gasco is a Missouri-based purveyor of fuel for residential, commercial and agricultural uses throughout the Ozark region. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Ferrellgas is one of the largest US propane retailers operating mostly in the midcontinent. It recently acquired Bridger Logistics, and last year purchased four smaller competitors. Further consolidation in the retail business comes as low propane prices narrow margins for retailers.
