NWP story
With humble beginnings, extraordinary feats can be achieved
In 1991, Fazil Malik started the company with just one leased location in the northwest pocket of Houston, TX. This is where NWP found its name, Northwest Petroleum.
NWP’s business philosophy was simple: find, train and develop talented and hardworking individuals, demand unparalleled quality, and look for new ways to rise past the competition, from ordinary into the extraordinary.
Through the next 30 years, NWP would grow to be a premier player in the industry, securing jobber contracts with Shell, Phillips 66, and Chevron. Today, NWP owns and operates more than 35 retail locations in Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and Southern Oklahoma, while always keeping an eye out for expansion opportunities.
Their portfolio includes 19 Burger Kings, 4 Denny’s and a Pilot Flying J travel center. Additionally, NWP’s proprietary c-store brand, QMart, has gained recognition for setting the highest standard of quality in the industry, with more locations on the horizon.
To this day, decades after its founding, NWP remains as steadfast as ever in its mission to nurture excellence, provide unbeatable quality and, as always, be extraordinary.

Fazil Malik
President, CEO
Fazil then steered the company’s business model towards owning rather than leasing and was able to secure jobber contracts from several major oil companies. This led him to start developing gas stations/convenience stores in the Houston, Austin and San Antonio markets. At the same time, he was able to secure franchising rights with Burger King and Denny’s which diversified the company’s business portfolio.
Currently, he serves as company’s President/CEO and manages all aspect of the business operations, administration and strategic initiatives. He is very proud of the fact that he has worked in all sorts of roles along the way in company’s evolutionary journey. From the occasional night cashiering in the early days of the first store, to developing NWP’s proprietary c-store brand, QMart, and everything in between.
Fazil enjoys staying active with hobbies like golfing, skiing and working out. He also loves to read. He lives in Houston with his wife Samra, and both of them are proud parents to their two daughters.
