“The Revere Gas delivery area complements our existing delivery territory in central Virginia and expands our presence in eastern Virginia,” commented Paul Giambra, CEO of Quarles Petroleum. “As family-owned businesses our companies share the same core values of providing superior service to our customers and giving back to the communities we serve. We look forward to welcoming Revere customers to Quarles, and pledge to deliver the same high caliber of customer service they’ve come to expect.”
