Petroleum Retailers & Auto Repair Association. Associated Retail Gasoline Dealers Inc. was chartered on August 13, 1937 when South Hills Association merged with East Liberty Association. In April 1987, ARGD was changed to Petroleum Retailers & Auto Repair Association. The Association name was changed to include businesses such as garages, convenience stores and car washes. Due to World War II, there wasn’t much activity for the first eight years of the Association. The first elected Officers and Board of Directors was held in 1945. 2007 will mark Petroleum Retailers 70th Anniversary, helping independent retailers.
