Well considering they are not a huge company like BP they probably can't afford to spend much more than the small contract they have to offer gas on the property. I personally have never seen another Hess gas station in the SE US outside of the WDW property.

While Hess doesn't have the presence of some of the larger oil companies, I can think of several stations within a 30-minute drive of my central Florida home.

Okay I will take your word on that, but I'm guessing since they don't have as large a market share as other oil companies, they can't afford a large sponsorship deal. Besides that I'm sure they're perfectly content with the exclusive on property fueling contract they have with Disney.

I have 2 within a mile of my house in Jacksonville Florida and I pass an additional 2 on my way to work.:shrug:

I'm guessing their presence is significant in FLA, I live in GA and there are none around here.:shrug:

Hess is extremely common in North Carolina too.

LOL I guess in GA all the Hess stations got replaced with Stuckeys and Racetracks. :ROFLOL:

Georgia does seem to be somewhat devoid of them. We have 10 here in Jacksonville but you only have 2 even remotely close to Atlanta.

I used to always purchase my fuel from Hess right outside of Atlanta. According to this site there are 4 Hess stations within 100 miles of Atlanta.
Jackson, Villa Rica, Carnesville, and Calhoun are the only places to go for a Hess station that I can find.

I imagine they have been bought out by all the Quick Trips that are popping up all over my area of GA.

Yeah we have a QT about every quarter mile around the Atlanta area now. And it seems more pop up every day kinda like Waffle House.

WoL was MetLife.

 

[brkgnews]

WoL was MetLife.

Yup. Forgot about it... I was mainly going from the preopening guide which, of course, didn't have WoL in it because it hadn't been thunk-up-yet. :lol:

Somewhere I also have a list of all the international "participants."

In comparison BP has well over 11,000 locations nationwide, so my original comment still holds true
