HARRISON: High School Student Danny Eljamal Is Is New Owner Of A Mobile Gas Station In Connecticut

DANBURY, CT: The new owner of a Danbury gas station is a 17-year-old Harrison High School senior Danny Eljamal, who began managing the Mobil station at 112 Newton Road in on March 9, while finishing his senior year at Harrison High School, where he is the school president.

He got his start very early in his family's business and has worked summers helping manage his brother's gas station in Miami Beach. 

The young entrepreneur has begun refreshing the Mobil station's exterior, including landscaping, new signs and general cleaning.

Inside the station's convenience store, he introduced special offers.

Mr. Eljamal's station will sell U.S.-produced gasoline and is the son of Sammy Eljamal, who for almost three decades has operated Shell, BP, Mobil and Gulf service stations throughout the tri-state area.

Over the years, the family has supported many local causes, including their $10,000 donation to the Maria Fareri Children's Hospital in Valhalla. The family plans to do the same thing in Danbury.

Mr. Eljamal will be attending Fairfield University in the fall.

Balancing college work, a gas station and a social life will be part of his preparation for running the much grander corporation he hopes to someday build.
