Southeastern convenience-store chain The Pantry Inc. is nearing a deal to be sold, according to people familiar with the matter.

The Cary, N.C., company, which does business primarily under the Kangaroo Express banner, has a market value of $685 million, at Tuesday’s closing. Using a typical takeover premium, an acquisition of the company could value it at more than $850 million.

They are actually one of the fews Internet news sources taht actually makes real money on the operations. They have enough paying customers to not have to deal with riff-raff like us.
