What does it really take to run a large-scale fuel distribution and retail operation in one of the world’s most regulated markets — California?
In this episode of the PowerTalk Show, host Navin Shetty sits down with Abed Aish, Chief Operating Officer of Double AA Corporation — a San Francisco-based fuel distributor, wholesale operator, and retail gas station network that has been serving California and beyond for over 40 years.
Abed brings a sharp, no-nonsense perspective to some of the most pressing questions in the energy world today: Why are oil prices surprisingly low despite ongoing geopolitical tensions? What does the EV revolution really mean for traditional fuel businesses? And how is a family-run enterprise using AI to stay competitive in a fast-changing market?
