The Queen gas station
Women pumping gas might seem like a strange sight in Lebanon, but that could change with the Queen, the first and only gas station in the country run and operated by a group of women. Queen, “a gas station with a feminine sensation” as it labels itself, was opened with the idea of giving women the opportunity to work in a traditionally men’s job. [Link]
I am not sure if they got inspired from the post I had written back in April 2011 about opening a women car wash in Lebanon but those are not the women I had in mind. Also, if you read the whole article, you will notice there are men working at the station, which pretty much goes against the original idea.

“Big girls you are beautiful”
Well.. maybe in Saida they are..
I think they are beautiful everywhere in the world but in the superficial mind of our lebanese guys.
Yes. What Rana said. And maybe the women have started off in the car wash but will be encouraged to become mechanics and engineers if the petrol station is a success.
“…but those are not the women I had in mind.” hahahaha 7elwi minak
I am not implying I need to see hot women to wash my car there. On the contrary, the initiative is very nice and I totally support it but when I was thinking about the women car wash, I was thinking top models and women in bikinis lol.
Haha. You just contradicted yourself. “I am not implying I need to see hot women to wash my car” but “I was thinking top models and women in bikinis”
I think that kind of car was would be very successful
K,
In my earlier post back in April my idea was to employ top models and come up with a cool women car wash. All I am saying is that I dont mind women washing my car at all, even if they are not hot models, but that’s not what I was thinking of when I suggested the idea.
Najib I guess you were salivating in having “Hooters” girls “washing” the cars…or rather lathering themselves on it. :P
Gianni,
Aren’t those businesses a huge success in the states?
They are called eye candies….and you are correct that they are huge successes. I try to drop in by the Hooters casino every time I am in Vegas. just got back actually.
It creates jobs and puts a smile on people’s faces (although some prefer ninjas).
