The way I read it just the corporate name is changing, not the store names.
I would say that the stores will be re-branded as well. You don't re-fo your logo just for stationary? I would think the Speedway locations will be re-branded too and might be the impetus for the change? As long as they keep giving we vanners free showers they will continue to be my favorite.

Your showers are not free ....
I think this has to do with Buffett's initial purchases of shares. I believe the agreement calls for Berkshire to take a bigger piece of the pie in the future. Can't remember exactly, need to look that up. Regardless, I don't think the Flying J name gets removed on stores. Why have one brand when you can have two? Coke, Pepsi ... McD's Burger King ... blah, blah ...
Oops, forgot you're a gaser ....
I honestly don't know how they're regular gas compares to other stores.
I find them to be competitive in their market with other " non top tier" fuels. And, lower than Shell or Mobile, etc. Quite often they are cheapest in the area. That being said, every few tanks I run a top tier OR add a bottle of Lucas injector cleaner which adds .15/gal to that particular fill-up.

Mine are! Every time I fuel purchasing 15 gallons of gas or more and using my super duper Flying/Pilot Professional driver card I get ½ shower credit. Combining two ½ shower credits gives me one whole shower credit which can be redeemed for a free shower.Your showers are not free ....
Using the Flying/Pilot Professional Driver Card also gives you a .03/gallon off the pump price.
I used that card for a few years. Past 2 years or so it hasn't made sense if your vehicle uses diesel. Their diesel price is a rip off of major proportions. You'd save money buying cheaper fuel elsewhere & purchasing showers.
Btw, I believe it's 14 gal per 1/2 shower credit ....

I started using Costco and Sam's club for my gas fuel purchases because its is almost always cheaper then i got a planet fitness black card and didn't look back.
Let me tell you they are more expensive there is no free shower there is a sub today shower
Whether at a Pilot or a Flying J, they have it down to a science...
Regardless of how many registers are open, they're one short.
