Over 40 Years of Service
As a family owned and operated company, Country Gas of Cortez is the newest of four propane companies. The first company was opened in Gallup, New Mexico (Gallup Propane Service) in 1971 by Don Nicholson who is lovingly remembered as a wise Christian business-man who had a passion for serving others through his work (pictured center, middle row).
Now three generations later, his legacy continues.
Meet the Cortez Family
Being a family owned and operated business doesn't always mean that everyone is related by blood, but it does mean that everyone is treated like family - including our customers.
