ADNOC Distribution and Americana Restaurants International PLC have announced a partnership to introduce up to 200 quick service restaurants across ADNOC Distribution’s fuel station network in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.

The agreement draws on Americana’s portfolio of 12 global brands and ADNOC Distribution’s existing retail footprint to expand food and beverage options at what the companies are positioning as integrated mobility and convenience destinations. Neither company named specific brands that will feature under the deal.

The partnership also ties into the expansion of The Hub by ADNOC, a destination-led retail concept that combines fuel, EV charging, car care, dining, and lifestyle services at a single site.

For ADNOC Distribution, the deal advances a stated target to double non-fuel retail transactions by 2030. Non-fuel gross profit grew by more than 14 percent year-on-year and transactions rose by more than 9 percent in 2025, the company said.
