TravelCenters of America LLC , operator of the TA® and Petro Stopping Centers® travel center brands, and the Minit Mart® convenience store brand announced that it has acquired a total of 26 gasoline/convenience store locations located primarily in Minnesota (18) and Kentucky (6) in three unrelated transactions. Some currently offer branded quick service restaurant operations like Subway®, White Castle®, and Arby’s®. TravelCenters expects to add a quick service restaurant and/or deli to most of the stores that today do not include them. TravelCenters has to date arranged gasoline branding for seven of these 26 stores as Marathon® (5 stores), BP® (1 store) and Exxon® (1 store). TravelCenters expects that the convenience stores at 26 of these locations and the remaining 19 gasoline operations will be rebranded as Minit Mart®.
