How to Franchise Phoenix Gas Station

In 2002, young entrepreneur Dennis Uy launched an oil company named DOTSCO in Davao City with the aim to become the fourth largest gas station in the Philippines, just behind the country’s 3 major players. It was an ambitious goal that would see fruition much sooner than he expected.

Though the company experienced some uphill challenges and underwent several name changes, it would rise over these challenges like a real phoenix.

In 2005, the company launched Phoenix Gas Station, opening its first five retail stations in Davao and other parts of Mindanao. It became the major fuel supplier for Cebu Pacific Air, its first customer. Who would have thought that in just a decade, the company would grow from 1 to 300 retail stations?

Today, Phoenix Gas Station has over 600 outlets nationwide and has clearly become one of the top players in the country. Not only is the company into selling fuels, but starting in 2018, there are also new ventures to include bitumen or asphalt into its ever-widening portfolio. This is helping make the company grow at exponential rates.
