BP has sold 13 Thorntons c-stores in Columbus, Ohio, and Lexington, Kentucky, to Giant Oil, a spokesperson from BP confirmed on Monday.
The deal has already closed and all 13 locations have been rebranded to Giant Oil’s On the Fly banner, according to a LinkedIn post from one of the company’s regional managers on Sunday.
Giant Oil’s pickup continues a busy year for M&A. There have been more than a dozen confirmed acquisitions in the convenience retail industry so far in 2026.
Giant Oil, which operates a fuel distribution business in addition to its convenience stores, needed just five days to rebrand these sites to its own banner, according to the LinkedIn post by Regional Manager Stacey Jobe.
Officials from Giant Oil did not immediately respond to questions about whether or not the company implemented its FlyBy Kitchen foodservice program in the newly acquired locations
