ADNOC Distribution, a leading fuel and convenience retailer in the GCC, is rapidly accelerating its expansion across Saudi Arabia. With a strong operational and financial performance in 2025, the company has announced plans to open 160 new service stations in the Kingdom by 2026, bringing its total presence to 300 stations.
Strategic Expansion in the Kingdom
Over the past year, ADNOC Distribution has more than doubled its station count in Saudi Arabia—from 70 to 140. This growth has been driven by a Dealer-Owned, Company-Operated (DOCO) model, enabling rapid market entry and expansion while maintaining operational standards.
The upcoming rollout of 160 additional stations marks a bold move to solidify the company’s footprint in one of the region’s most dynamic fuel markets. The expansion is also in line with ADNOC’s broader strategy of regional diversification and increased accessibility to its fuel and convenience retail offerings.
Growth Across the Region
Beyond Saudi Arabia, ADNOC Distribution has also strengthened its presence in the UAE and Egypt. The company now operates around 940 service stations regionally, with a strong emphasis on non-fuel retail offerings such as convenience stores, car wash services, and quick-service restaurants.
This regional expansion complements ADNOC’s efforts to transform fuel stations into full-service destinations that meet the evolving needs of customers.
Strong Financial Momentum
In the first half of 2025, ADNOC Distribution reported a 12.2% increase in net profit, reaching $319 million. This growth is attributed to rising fuel demand and continued investment in non-fuel business segments.
In recognition of this performance, the company is issuing an interim dividend of $350 million in October 2025, underlining its commitment to shareholder value while funding growth initiatives.
Looking Ahead
With plans to operate 300 stations in Saudi Arabia by 2026, ADNOC Distribution is positioning itself as a major player in the regional retail fuel sector. Its flexible business model, financial resilience, and customer-centric approach make it well-prepared to meet the growing demands of one of the world’s fastest-developing energy markets.
