The gas station chain “MAPCO Express Inc.” was founded in 1981 and has recently begun to dominate the landscape of the Southeastern USA (or at least the area between Atlanta, Nashville, and Birminham). They tend to have a strong reputation as a clean and efficient place to stop, and have a combination of refitted stores and new construction. They seem to be more prevalent than McDonalds now, and I have often seen two MAPCOs directly across the street from one another (I suppose to service highway traffic in both directions).
