    Two forks of the storied Call clan, whose interests span oil refining, fuel distribution, travel centers and convenience stores, are rejoining in a multimillion-dollar deal after 44 years of operating independently.
    FJ Management, founded in Utah in 1968 as Flying J by Jay Call, has agreed to buy controlling interest in North Salt Lake-based Maverik Inc., a fuel marketer and convenience store chain started in 1928 by Reuel Call. He later owned the company with Jay Call’s father, Osborne, until the two brothers parted ways in the early 1960s.

    Well there goes a good C store down the drain.
    Was the only C store I would shop when I lived in SLC. Thankfully they are now expanding into Carson Valley,NV. :)
    Mavrick already has it own frequrant customer cards.
    1 is good for 2 cents off every gallon of gas,( not many locations if any have truck islands) The other card is good for 6 cents off, provided you register it with your debt card account.

    Read the article carefully . Pilot is not involved . Pilot did not buy Flying J entirely , only part ownership of the travel centers .

    You are correct Rick. I don't know how I managed to get mixed up on that. From the article:

    But it was the kids, of the fj founder, who ran the flying j into the ground, after he was killed in airplane crash near Sun Valley,Idaho They did away with accepting Comdata, which most large trucking companies used to buy fuel.
