I don't if anybody else has seen it but I was on 81/77 last night and saw the Wilco Hess is now a P-lot. After I mentioned it on the CB somebody responded back saying P-lot bought all the Wiclos in VA. Well that sucks because I like the Wilco.

Ok according to mgr at Tommy Brooks......hess got out of retail sold out All retail locations to Marathon&all Wilcos Outside of Va will be rebranded Speedway&remain the SAME other than signage......
Now by Commonwealth of Virginia law......No Manufacturers (ie:refiners)can sell retail in VA.....So the VA locations cannot b branded Speedway since it is wholly owned by Marathon.......so Wilco has entered into a Branding Fuel Sales Only agreement w/Pilot.....mgr claims....other than fuel signage nothing changes.....Wilco now Speedway still control fuel prices reward pts on Wilco cards etc......i asked him if he really bieved that....he said he did&Pilot was not gonna change anything other than gas sign...I said "good luck w/that"
He did assure me the DD Coffee was stayin.....to which I said wonderful......but since you won't b able to get in the pkg lot for the lowlifes.....We probably won't b seeing much of each any morejoseph1135 and TruckDuo Thank this.
