Special Alert: FTC Approves Pilot Flying J Merger
6.30.10

The Federal Trade Commission today approved Pilot Travel Centers' acquisition of Flying J's travel center network, but required Pilot to sell 26 locations as part of the deal.
 
In a separate move, the FTC cleared the way for Love's Travel Stops and Country Stores to purchase those facilities from Pilot.
 
Effective July 1, the merger ends nearly a year of negotiations and creates a network of more than 550 interstate travel centers that will operate under the brand Pilot Flying J.
 
Pilot said it already has begun to accept TCH cards and Flying J is accepting Comdata cards.
