Flying J/Pilot

I was at the Fargo J last week and they told me the merger was not going through.

I have not found anything to support this, but will be going back through on Monday and see what they say this time.

 

The target effective date was April 1 of 2010.

 

I hope the j's stay somewhat the same. could be a good thing i guess. just my .02

 

Hope the J at McCalla Al gets a good jolt, they've gone downhill alot.

 

Here in PA Dec 1st was supposed to be the magic date for decisions about what was going to happen to the restaurants, in some places things changed, or are about to, but nothing at others.

 

I was talking to the manager at the Lake Point, UT "J" last week. she told me the deal was pretty much sunk...not outright gone, but sinking fast.
Evidently, Pilot wanted the whole kit and kaboodle, but "J" ownership got a burr under the saddle with an offer from Sapp Bros., seems Sapp wants to get the franchised properties (Spokane, WA..Battle Mountain, NV...and some others...and Pilot didn't want to get just a majority piece.

So negotiations are kind of stuck. From a managers mouth, whatever credence you want to give to this info is up to you all.

 

Could the sale of this refinery make the sale of the travel centers not necessary ?
