Quick Service Restaurant

Unquestionably, PSO has been globally acclaimed for its pioneering initiatives and the ‘unending series of firsts’ that have led to its market dominance in virtually every facet of its business. Be it the fuel business or its corporate social responsibility initiatives, PSO being the innovative entity driven by unparalleled commitment, excels in every facet of the business, as its name symbolizes customer satisfaction and care, to say the least. PSO has often succeeded in turning an erstwhile dream into reality.

Currently PSO is working with its existing and potential clients including Pizza Hut, Unilever Pak Ltd, Subway Ltd, Bread and Beyond for expansion of “Quick Service Restaurant” facilities across a number of stations on nationwide basis. Hence, the future looks extremely bright and encouraging for PSO where the only thing that remains constant in its vocabulary is ‘change and the pace at which such positive change takes place!

Pizza Hut

Yet another first’ on the ‘oil marketing companies’ horizon! Given its endless appetite for providing to its customers, an added dimension of convenience, PSO created history when it entered into a strategic corporate alliance with the leading global ‘pizza’ chain, namely ‘Pizza Hut’ at Lahore.

The trendsetter that it is known for today, it was in December 2007 that being cognizant of the need for continuously introducing other diversified forecourt-enriched offerings, PSO established its first international ‘Pizza Hut’ outlet at its ‘Sunshine Petroleum’ station located at the historic city’s Girja Chowk. Indeed, a landmark in the history of the nation’s flagship entity, the objective was none other than to further facilitate the customer through such value-added platforms and avenues not only to complement PSO’s Retail Fuels portfolio (wherein it enjoys market dominance, commanding an overall market share in excess of 70% in both white and black oils combined), but also to establish PSO in the hearts and minds of the community as the single ‘one-stop destination of choice!’

Ltd for establishing Walls Happiness Centres on our stations. Walls Happiness centre is a newly conceived and developed concept by Unilever for enriching the experience of the customers who intend to have ice cream in an exciting new manner and amidst great ambiance. The first such initiative got established on teen talwar PSO Station in Karachi, Pakistan’s largest metropolitan city.

PSO intends to increase the number of ATMs to hundred stations by June 2014. Through this alliance, customers can enjoy a secure and hassle-free, 24-hour ATM-service at major PSO outlets in the metro towns of the country. The ATM facility is available to all cardholders of ‘Mnet’ and ‘1 LINK’ members. This is basically, yet another step towards providing a ‘24x7 one window’ facility nation-wide.
