Capitol Petro Mart

Ownership

Capitol Petroleum has been owned by Farooq Shahzad for more than 25 years after he launched his own company in 1997. This is an independent, Madison-based owner rather than a corporate chain or franchise.

Local Sourcing

His portfolio includes BP and Mobil branded gas stations, indicating reliance on major national corporate supply chains rather than local suppliers.

Community Involvement

Shahzad has contributed to both Democratic and Republican initiatives and is involved in the community and local school district, but there is no evidence of significant business sponsorships or formal partnerships with nonprofits or events.

Local Workforce

Capitol Petroleum employees attributed a compensation and benefits rating of 3.0/5 stars, and one employee reported not receiving a raise until quitting and being asked to return, indicating inconsistent wage practices and potential turnover issues.

Revenue Retention

Capitol Petroleum is a multi-location business with 20 locations, suggesting revenues flow to a centralized operation rather than staying primarily in any single community, though the owner is Madison-based.
