    I’m sure the previous owners chose to sell and it wasn’t “taken over” by Pilot.

    Pilot approached the owner of a truckstop in my hometown (Murdo SD) initially about updating the property and then just franchising the diesel side, similar to what they do with Town Pump in Montana. They had a list of things they wanted done and the owner said she was going to choose not to do them because it was an investment larger than what she wanted to make. About 2 weeks later they came back to her with an offer to just buy the property because they wanted the location.
