The Hess gas stations are now Speedway. It changed up near me a few months ago. I guess Speedway bought Hess. Same stations, different signs.

Speedway bought Hess last year and is in the process of rebranding Hess to Speedway.

Huh...are the classic holiday trucks going to be converted as well? That would make last year's 50th anniversary edition a true collectors item!

Huh. So that red will pop a little more than the green/white signs did, especially at that one by the Boardwalk.

Actually Speedway only bought Hess' retail holdings (gas stations/convenience stores). Hess sold that division off to focus on the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas.

I just hope the convenience stores have as decent of food and drink selections as Hess Express. I thought that Hess Express stores were an upgrade from the ExxonMobil stores.

I've been inside the Speedway near me. Looked the same as when it was Hess. Nice clean well stocked store. Sort of like a mini Wawa.

Plus, if you get a rewards card you get a discount on gas and earn points to redeem on gas or items in store. :thumbsup:
