Wilco/Hess is now pilot

So.... Loves is building. Pilot is buying out. TA is.......? Happy to exist until Pilot makes an offer?

 

It's official. Just got a note from nastc saying nomore wilco's. Options are getting limited with the nasty card.

 

Pilot's don't buy old truck stops. Old truck stops buy INTO Pilot's.

Right?

 

Nov 1st is the take over day. Just found that out yesterday talking with a employee of Wilco Hess

 

In the future maybe? DD is its own company with franchises. They are expanding west of the Mississippi, the farthest west I found one was in Las Vegas on the strip I think it was.

As a company though, they'll just let the franchise owners expand for them I think.

 

I really can't see TA going anywhere anytime soon. They have their footprint and it's pretty large. Until PFJ starts building service stations nation wide, I think ta is safe.

 

They are two different companies, who are after the same goal of buying wilco Hess and Hess. Speedway and pilot corporation go back to the 50's as doing business together, but they are seperate companies.

 

Dunkin donuts has been in the greater LA area since I can remember

 

I know around here all the Wilco Hess stores wouldn't sell out to QT so QT built truck stops around 100 yards down the road and almost has them out of business now. Well that was probably the selling point.. I love Pilot's coffee and not what they make but the bags to brew yourself. Something to look forward to now. My jaw is broke but I still have to have my coffee.

 

I like the QT's. I can get a good deli sandwich and pineapple slices, plus coffee real cheap.
