DUBAI: Saudi Arabia’s Aramco and French firm TotalEnergies have launched the first two service stations of their joint retail network in Riyadh and Saihat, the companies announced in a statement.
The inauguration builds on the pair’s joint venture to “upgrade a network of 270 service stations and expand the range of quality retail services” in the Kingdom, which was signed in 2019.
“As the Kingdom scales up tourism projects, we can expect domestic travel to increase, along with demand for hospitality and travel services,” Amin Nasser, president and chief executive officer of Aramco, said.
The service stations will operate under both brands, the statement read, and will include fuel refilling, convenience stories, and other automotive services like car wash and oil change.
TotalEnergies stations will have a branded cafe called Bonjour Cafer, while Aramco stations will house Fai Cafe.
All stations will be equipped with solar panels, the statement added.
