The company is part of the Shell Oil Co., which is a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell plc.

Company Working

The company has been working with Shell for several years, and they have a new partnership in place for most of these convenience stores. While Pilot will continue to sell Shell-branded fuel at all of its stores, nine of them will continue to sell Pilot-branded fuel. They will also continue to accept their Pilot Fleet Cards and MyRewards cards, which are popular with frequent travelers. The company’s loyalty program will continue to accept Kroger rewards cards at some locations in middle Tennessee. In addition to the new partnership with Shell, Pilot will still operate more than 750 truck stops and remain a leader in convenience.

Pilot Corporation

In November, the Pilot Corporation sold forty convenience stores in Tennessee and Kentucky to Casey’s General Stores, Inc. The new ownership of all Pilot-branded stations includes eight in Middle Tennessee and one in Nashville. The deal enables Shell to offer Shell-branded fuel at all the convenience stores and will continue to accept their Pilot Fleet and MyRewards cards to participate in their in-store promotions. In Knoxville, all of the Pilot-branded locations will continue to accept Kroger rewards cards.

Pilot Stores

Although Pilot stores continue to offer Pilot-branded fuel at some of their locations, they will no longer sell it directly. As a result of the merger, the Pilot Flying J will offer Shell-branded fuel in 38 convenience stores and six in middle Tennessee. The new agreement also means that the companies will continue to accept Kroger’s rewards cards and MyRewards cards at all the Flying J locations. As part of the merger, pilot will continue to manage and own all of its locations and will continue to make upgrades.
