Title: Wild Beans Cafe

This mini-store/cafe, found in some BP stations nationwide, is going to be phased out and replaced by AM/PM by the end of 2008.  I FINALLY got a genuine WBC in-store sign (over the entryway) from the trash at BP, mine just converted a week ago.

None of the BP stations in NJ have them. They were all former Amoco stations I think.

I got to start collecting things from stores while I can....I would like to have a Jamesway cart most of all.

Funny that the whole AM/PM thing is coming back (for many years now, they were exclusive to CA, WA, and a few other West Coast states I believe that have Arco stations).
We used to have "AM/PM" to some extent in the Northeast. Arco (before it was owned by BP) went by the name Atlantic in PA anyway and had "A Plus" minimarts (they may have started out as AM/PM but that is way before me), a name Sunoco now uses everywhere as they bought out Atlantic.
