A lot of them have gas stations attached. It's the stand-alone locations that are closing.
People aren't buying pop and chips there as often for budgetary reasons so they've increased the hot food they sell like chicken, pizza and low-grade hotdogs. You can get lunch for about $6 which is cheaper than most fast food places.
They've also gone hard on selling coffee and fresh-ish pastries.
