Complementing the nation’s ambitions to generate new business opportunities for young Omanis and drive economic progress, Oman Oil Marketing Company (omanoil) has created a unique business proposition for local Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to operate its Car Care Centers across the Sultanate. This is one of many ‘In-Country Value’ initiatives that omanoil is embarking on to encourage entrepreneurship amongst the youth and support the socio-economic development of the nation.

“Our vision is to grow hand-in-hand with the country,” said Hussain Bait Ishaq, General Manager of Retail, Fuel Cards and Regional Offices. “SMEs account for a large percentage of Oman’s businesses, proving to be the backbone of the job market, and we are focusing our efforts on contributing to the development of SMEs into engines of economic growth.”

He added, “At omanoil, we invest in fostering the national talent pool with educational, coaching and leadership programs to ensure skilled resources for a future-ready Omani workforce. Today, we are extending our vision beyond our walls in support of local startup businesses in the hopes of instilling a sense of ownership and pride amongst young entrepreneurs at the beginning of their careers and nurturing a new generation of leaders.”

omanoil’s Car Care Centers include a Car Wash, Lube Bay and Tire Change facility and will be operated by local entrepreneurs. A dedicated omanoil team will monitor the facilities to ensure compliance with company standards, while imparting omanoil’s concept of total convenience and excellent customer care through continuous supervision.
