Goodbye, Hess Gas Stations

Hess Corp. is getting out of the retail gas business and that means it is going to unload its gas stations that dot busy Bethlehem area roads, including Easton Avenue, Schoenersville Road and Broadway.

The 1,350 gas stations employ about half of the company's 14,700 workers, but account for just 4 percent of Hess Corp. revenue. A Hess spokesman says there are no plans to close the gas stations.

Hess Corp. is changing its strategy to focus on oil production, according to a New York Time blog, which reports:

While the fate of the toy Hess trucks remains in question, the company expects the 2013 models to be ready in time for Christmas, batteries included.
