Wheelers Fireplace & Grill began in 1974  when Glenn Wheeler began delivering propane gas with his pick up truck. Service was a priority of Glenn’s and although his transportation methods were not always the most efficient he made sure each and every person who contacted Wheelers for propane was promptly serviced. From the start, Glenn’s wife Margaret helped with the business at home sending out invoices and keeping track of the books for the business.  

During the early years Wheelers saw continued growth because of their service methods and also because they ran their business as a family affair. In 1984 after graduating, son Mark joined the business full time and further helped in its growth.

A year after Mark joined the business the Wheelers saw their dreams blown away as a level 5 tornado completely destroyed their business leaving nothing to truly savage. Knowing there was still a need to the many families who lost everything to this deadly disaster the Wheelers quickly moved their operation to their home which say little damage and were back in business this way for the next year till they were able to rebuild.
