OGDEN, Utah (June 23, 2009)—Ogden, Utah-based oil company Flying J Inc. is closing seven restaurants because of poor economic conditions.

Flying J is closing restaurants in Payson, Utah; Bessemer, Ala.; Commerce, Ga.; Lubbock, Texas; and three locations in Wyoming including Cokeville, Evanston and Casper.

The Flying J convenience stores at those locations will continue selling hot and cold deli items.

Flying J filed a petition for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Delaware in December.

In February, Flying J announced it was laying off 200 workers as part of its reorganization.

Virginia Parker, director of marketing for Flying J, said Monday in a statement that the company regularly reviews the long-term potential of each property and evaluates the performance that's needed for it to continue operating.

I'm sorry that things like this happen. I've always been impressed at the one here in Waco, and the one in Tye(west of Abilene), and the one close to Pecos, and have 'always' known that I could stop and eat(good food at a reasonable price) or use the Restrooms(that were always clean), and buy the gasoline (at the best price). I'm thankful these were not affected!!
