I always liked Wilco too.Truckstops like Wilco has or had better food then any of the Pilots ever will.

 

What do you mean?
Their Wendy's is better than Pilot Wendy's?

 

I think it's true, I hope not,

I always stop there and get a chili cheese dog or two.

plus that stretch of interstate is the only place I can go north and south at the same time.

 

yep, its true they are changing all the signs up I-81

 

takes alot of digging, but hess sold all retail locations to marathon oil/ speedway.... which then spun off the retail locations into marathon petroleum, which has entered into agreements with pilot/flying j...

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 more
