History of Gulf Oil
In 1913 we made historic strides with the grand opening of our first-ever Gulf branded gas station. With one eye on the future, we knew that this small step would be the first of many, bringing Gulf closer to the lives of our customers. Since that major milestone over a hundred years ago, Gulf has become synonymous with innovation, product and technical expertise, all done in the pursuit of excellence.
Through ongoing guidance and collaboration, we support the rapid growth of our partners by creating a thriving and ever-expanding network of over 1,400 Gulf-branded stations across 23 countries. Capitalising on shopping experiences and Gulf-branded merchandise, we also support the success of licensees by offering professional services and leverage from our global partnerships with brands such as McLaren.
