    I forget how the coffee tastes, but I remember the cheap delicious pineapple.

    The orange cream slush thing is awesome for a dollar but can't do straws right now.

    Actually, my info is outdated by a century or so. They have 12,000 locations in 36 countries. Mostly franchise owned.

    Apparently in the early 90's DD pulled out of CA completely because of the heavily saturated Cambodian coffee shops, they couldn't compete.

    Well the signs are popping up on the change over. Use your Hess points before midnight Tues morning. After that they are gone. Peelot will or may not transfer points

    I like it because we fuel exclusively at pfj and it gives me more locations to shower.

    The coffee you buy there to brew yourself is worth a stop there

    Just went to a Pilot/ex Wilco Hess in Toms Brook,VA a week and half ago. The madness for parking had already started and wasn't even 5:30 pm yet. I was laughing my *** off listening to drivers cuss each other out over the CB trying to either park or to get fuel at the islands. I was one of the lucky ones and parked in the bobtail area(dropped my trailer off earlier in the day at Winchester to get loaded).
    At least this location had a DQ,definitely a change of pace from the Subway next to it.

    The wilco/hess locations in virginia were bought by pilot almost two years ago....they were a cluster for parking even before then....pilot has nothing to do with drivers not being able to park their trucks.
