This is just one of the few planned strategies through which we will continue to enhance one-stop-consumer experience we are known for”.

As Big Treat is one of Nigeria’s operators of Fast Food outlets, convenience store marketers and household supermarkets, the services will be available at Oando service stations, on size by size basis. Some stations will feature all three services while others will be just one.

With this partnership, Big Treat will be joining other brands that have partnership deals with Oando Marketing, such as Chicken Republic, and Tasty Fried Chicken.
