Muslim family bans alcohol sales at its 350 gas station chain

A Muslim family has removed alcohol from hundreds of gas stations across the United Kingdom for "ethical" reasons.

Following a number of recent acquisitions, the owners of Euro Garages have decided to remove alcohol from its 350 gas stations claiming it is ethically wrong to sell alcoholic drinks to drivers. Other point at religious reasons behinde the ban.

Brothers Zuber and Mohsin Issa, owners of Euro Garages, are one Britain´s most successful Muslim families with their gas station business worth £1.3 billion,, reported The Daily Mail.

Euro Garages have recently embarked on an aggressive expansion campaign. Last July the British fuel retailing chain secured a deal to take over 174 new sites in the UK.

The owners admit that not selling alcohol has obviously affected their profit; however, the move has not hampered the success of their business.
