Oman Oil Marketing Company (omanoil) ended 2011 with over 1 billion liters in fuel sales and ten new filling stations to make up a total of 132 to date, earning its position as the fastest growing retail network in the Sultanate. Oman\'s visionary fuels and lubricants marketing company is set to revel in the New Year 2012 with a resolute retail network expansion of five new strategically located filling stations designed to augment the nation\'s infrastructure development blueprint, the first of which is already operational in Saqsuq, Barka.

"We invest in strategic locations across Oman to reinforce the nation\'s long-term development ambitions and raise industry standards in the fuels retail business," said Hussain bin Jama Al Ishaqi, omanoil Retail General Manager. "The country\'s infrastructure of highways and residential areas is catering to a growing population and has inspired our expansion plan to reach our customers across the Sultanate, providing consistently excellent re-fuelling and shopping experiences at all our filling stations as loyal friends on the road to motorists and local communities."

Al Ishaqi added, "The framework of our retail network expansion strategy allows us to redefine the one-stop-shop concept, while introducing best-in-class customer service."

Providing superior customer service at the highest international standard, omanoil not only offers a filling station but an altogether convenience-shopping experience with 74 ahlain stores, 14 car wash facilities, ATM machines and Quick Service Restaurants that include some of the world\'s most recognized names such as Burger King, Dunkin\' Donuts and Baskin Robbins.

Confidently maintaining the company\'s growth engine status, omanoil\'s year on year retail business unit volume has grown by more than 20% due to the opening of new service stations and enhanced customer services, with additional facilities offered at filling stations. Expansion plans will incorporate developments to continue upgrading existing retail facilities with customers\' best interest in mind. In its journey to achieving total satisfaction and sustaining the level of excellence for the thousands it serves every day, omanoil will adopt state-of-the-art technology, implement rigorous staff training programs and explore new business activities.
