    I'm a big fan of Wilco Hess as well. Just wondering what the position on the "Wilco" side of the house is with regards to this purchase. Is Marathon going to swallow them up in the purchase process as well?

    Since Hess owns Wilco in entirety, I would say yes.

    Marathon is based near me, and scuttle butt from Findlay is that they are developing a Pilot/Flying J fighting truck stop model for Speedway. As has been said, I really hope they aren't like the one in Jeffersonville.

    I parked at that speedway when I grabbed a room at that Motel 6 on Christmas Eve last year.

    [h=3]so they are all going to be owned by freakin' Peelot !!??

    Today[/h] Today, Speedway LLC is headquartered in Enon, Ohio. The chain is still prominent in the Midwest, but pulled out in the Southeast in 2003 when Marathon sold off Speedway's operations to Sunoco. It stated Helvetica italic typeface, has a slash between S part of the name and convey motion and speed, like Microsoft. Around the same time, Speedway's truck stop chain was merged into the Pilot Travel Centers brand after Marathon and Pilot Corporation entered into a partnership to form Pilot Travel Centers. Pilot has since bought out Marathon's interest in Pilot Travel Centers, now Pilot Flying J. The Speedway brand is used in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
    Speedway's main rivals include BP, Circle K, Holiday Stationstores, Kwik Trip, and Casey's General Stores. Sheetz competes directly with Speedway stores in West Virginia and eastern Ohio.
