Re: 76 reverting to orange?

76, while still part of the Conoco / Phillips 66 conglomerate, is going nationwide. They are licensing the brand in all 50 states. There are new sites coming online in New England, down towards Florida, and a bunch of places in between. Expect to see a lot more of these popping up. On a side note, I...

Re: 7-Eleven to buy Stripes

There are a ton of co-located stores in the Las Vegas market with 7-Eleven and a major Fast Food Operator. They are all franchised 7-11 locations, but the store and food are operated by the same person under the same roof. Many of them have (had; they're slowly closing) neighborhood Post Office loca...

Re: 7-Eleven to buy Stripes

It looks like the 3 odd Sunoco rebrands in New Mexico were a strange coincidence and in no way related to Stripes... I think the Bradley website is indeed a ghost as there are some closed sites on it. The Las Cruces Sunoco had the Bradley sign covered with a Sunoco tarp so it seems like it still ha...

Re: 7-Eleven to buy Stripes

Do we know who the group is who took over these Stripes that 7-Eleven did not take? I am curious because in New Mexico (Deming, Las Cruces, Alamogordo) there seem to be a few stations that recently rebranded to Sunoco. I do not recall Sunoco being used in New Mexico in the past. These stations were...

Re: Kroger name on gas pumps at non-Kroger banner stores?

The station is now open and the Kroger logos remain on half (actually more than half) of the pumps. I don't want to read too much into this but find it strange. It appears from what I can see that the pumps that have diesel have the Kroger logo, and the ones that do not have the Smith's logo. I bet...

Re: Kroger May Sell Off Its Convenience Store Chains, Including Kwik Shop, Tom Thumb, Turkey Hill

I believe the c-stores in the Memphis market were acquired from Schnucks, who may have inherited them from Sessel’s/Albertsons. When Schnucks sold their Memphis stores, the c-stores were rebranded “Kwik Shop” but apparently were really run under the Tom Thumb store division. On a separate note, if ...

Re: Vons in Las Vegas

Albertsons and Vons have started running joint ads. This happened in Colorado some months before they decided to rebrand them all to Safeway. Interested to see if they finally kill off the Vons banner here in Las Vegas.
