    Well sure. But as you know it's not easy to build a new TS with regulations and Opposition and stuff like that.
    Just saying it was sold because the owners weren't making enough money or just were ready to move on.
    Times are a changing and these older places are having trouble keeping up.
    Sooner or later place like that is going out of business, and I'd rather see someone purchase it and keep it as a a TS as opposed to being closed.

    There doom was pretty much signed when Loves put in a truck stop next door and started undercutting them on pretty much everything. The truck wash they run tho always did a #### good job and always a line.

    Sold...the way I understood it. They are clearing out all of their merchandise that normally wouldn't be carried by Pilot. I talked to a worker and he said he will probably quit because he'll get paid lower wages and be expected to do more work...

    March,2015 is when Dad's hands the keys to pilot.
    But they only sold the business. Not the building , not the land

    As confirmed by my best friend who still lives near Idaho Falls, and knows know the cashier supervisors.
