Expanding Geographically to Meet the Needs of Growing Population   

Kuwait Times - 13 August, 2012

Oula Fuel Marketing Company "Oula" has announced the reopening of its station in Mubarak Al Abdulla West Mishref, which comes in as part of Oula's aim to expand geographically and offer distinct services and products to wider range of customers at areas where fueling stations are not available.

Customers visiting the station in West Mishref will enjoy and benefit from a wide range of services and products such as Fuel products including Premium, Super and Ultra 98, car wash service and Oula convenience store for shopping. The station will especially cater to residents of the area and nearby locations as well as to the growing number of university students and employees.

Commenting on the reopening of the station, Managing Director Hamzah Bakhash said: “The station in West Mishref has been designed to accommodate to the needs of the growing population in that area offering convenience and accessibility to all its residents. We hope with the reopening of our station we would have accomplished that goal. On behalf of Oula, I would like to thank the H.E Minister of Oil and the management and staff of both Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) and Kuwait National Petroleum Corporation (KNPC) for all their efforts and support extended to Oula in reopening of the station.”

Oula has been investing in exploring new and effective methods to make the customer’s experience at the stations a convenient and pleasant one. Oula’s new smart solutions include the introduction of retractable hoses which have helped in easing the flow of traffic allowing customers to fuel from either side of the car, availability of most of its stations Google maps for ease in finding the closest location, the installation of automatic tank gauging system to detect underground leaks, camera surveillance to ensure security and safety of the customer, installation of new air and water towers, and last but not least the introduction of the world’s most environmentally friendly FastTrack carwash to most stations; Geowash which is now available for customers to experience and benefit from.
