 PROFILE
You don't have to travel far to see a Blue Rhino -- the cerulean rhinoceros with a flaming snout is displayed in more than 25,000 locations in 46 states in the US and Puerto Rico. Blue Rhino exchanges propane cylinders for gas grills, a safer alternative than refilling propane cylinders. Customers exchange empty cylinders for prefilled ones at hardware and convenience stores, including Home Depot, Lowe's, Wal-Mart, and Exxon Mobil. Nearly 50 independent propane distributors deliver the cylinders to stores. Blue Rhino has acquired shipping company QuickShip, and will offer retailers QuickShip's in-store parcel-shipping services. Vice Chairman Andrew "Flip" Filipowski owns a 19% stake in Blue Rhino.
