History

ALDREES was established in 1957, selling oil products stored in barrels and tanks. In 1963 the company rented its first petrol station at Al-Rail Street in Riyadh. By 1965 it owned its first station, on Al-Dhahran Street, located at the center of Riyadh.[1]

Since this time, the company has expanded throughout the country, aided by government contracts.

The company was given its current name in 2001. It went public in 2006.[1]
