OUR HISTORY

Jay Call grew up in the gas station business working for both his father and his uncle. In 1965, Jay built his first station and a small store in Ontario, Oregon, which was followed by another in Lewiston, Idaho. In the spring of 1968, he incorporated Flying J for the purpose of building and operating live-in, self-service gas stations. Jay was driven, and his efforts proved to be successful. Between 1968 and 1973 Jay built 23 stations in California, Washington, Oregon, and Nevada. However, Jay was not limited to the oil industry. Through 1975 and 1977 Jay invested in other ventures to support the rest of the business: land development, restaurants, and hotels in Utah, Washington, and Oregon. Jay opened the first interstate Flying J Travel Plaza along with its Tamarack Restaurant in 1979.

He did not shy away from risk; in fact, Jay acquired companies like Husky Oil and Thunderbird that were predicted to fail but ended up being some of his most valuable assets.

Following Jay’s untimely death and an unfortunate set of business circumstances, Flying J sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in December of 2008. This led to a reorganization of the company, which resulted in Crystal Call Maggelet taking the position of President and CEO. With new leadership and a strong reorganization plan that included the combination of Flying J assets with Pilot Travel Centers and the selling of other assets, the company was able to make 100 percent repayment to all creditors in 2010. Rebranded as FJ Management, the company flourished with the establishment of an investment portfolio and the acquisition of Maverik – one of the country’s best gas station brands. Today, FJ Management is a thriving company focused on increased growth and success for its subsidiaries, as well as building value to last.

More details on the history of Flying J and FJ Management is available in books, including one written by FJ Management CEO Crystal Maggelet.
