From the April 20, 2005 edition of The Arabian Sun.
If you want to cash in on the cache of the Saudi Aramco brand, there is now a shop where you can do just that, with the launch of a gift outlet at the Saudi Aramco Exhibit.
“We now have a more convenient way for our employees and their families to purchase quality items that bear the company's signature at value prices.”

How many times have you wished you could get your hands on a Saudi Aramco coffee mug, T-shirt, or cap? Until now, you had to buy in bulk or be an authorized buyer for your organization. And a website has made that easy.
But based on the success of the website and continuous requests for a gift shop from which dependents and friends can buy souvenirs, management decided to extend the availability of those products to everyone through a one-stop, walk-up outlet for shoppers.
"Ninety percent of the feedback that we received from our corporate gifts website mentioned the need for employees and their dependents to be able to purchase log souvenirs on a cash basis and not in bulk," said Mae S. Mozaini, head of the Corporate Identify and Design Unit. "As a result of that, the shop was opened. We plan to continue opening other shops around the Kingdom."
