Euro Garages is a Blackburn based chain of filling stations in the United Kingdom, France and the Benelux countries. By 2017, it operated more than 341 filling stations in the United Kingdom and Europe. Its founders, brothers Mohsin and Zuber Issa, are self made billionaires.

The company was co founded by brothers Mohsin and Zuber Issa of Indian Gujarati descent in 1995, when they bought a petrol station in Bury, Greater Manchester. It is headquartered in Blackburn, United Kingdom. Zuber Issa is the chief executive, while Mohsin Issa is the managing director.

By 2011, the company operated 73 filling stations in the United Kingdom, with Starbucks, Burger King, Subway, Spar and Greggs retailers and drive throughs. By 2000, it operated 200 stations in the United Kingdom. By July 2015, they acquired 172 more filling stations. As a result, they operated 352 filling stations. They also hired 2,000 staff.

In October 2015, the private equity firm TDR Capital acquired a stake in the company. Euro Garages made a deal with the European Forecourt Retail Group in October 2016. By then, they operated 341 filling stations for BP, Esso and Shell with retailers in the United Kingdom and "more across France and the Benelux countries." By 2017, the two brothers were billionaires. The brothers are majority shareholders, while TDR Capital owns a stake.
