By October (next month), the main store of Solito Motor Oil and Auto Parts Supply will officially be located in Shell Sudapin Station. For those of you who live in Kidapawan City, especially in Barracks / Sudapin / Manongol (and up to the foothills of Mt. Apo) areas, this Bulilit Shell gasoline station might be familiar to you already. It is along Tourist Road / Ilumavis Road and opened last June 2012. Bulilit means small by the way. So, why the move? To save on rent space of course! And what we save will hopefully be profit, and enough to conduct a medical mission this year ^__^ Anyway, here's a shot of the Shell Sudapin Station (that's my kid in red, hehe):
As you might have guessed, this gasoline station is another business of my parents. My father's dream business actually :) But lest you think we're rich, no, we're not. If you look at the Shell Sudapin Station carefully, it only has two bays, with 6 pumps each. Yeah, it's a very small gas station, one that my father can actually afford to put up. Hehe! Anyway, back to the moving of our Kidapawan motorparts store. The big question is: does it make sense to move it to a gas station? In our case, it's a big YES! Coz most of the station's customers are motorcycles and tricycles (perhaps around 90%). In essence, our gas station coupled with the motorparts store will become a hub for motorcycle drivers and bikers! The drivers will fill their motorcycle tanks with gas, buy motor oils they need in the shop, have a motor part repaired, and perhaps eat a snack in our mini-grocery while they wait. Perfect setup if I may say so! ;-)
Main: National Highway, Kidapawan City
