Many Kangaroo gas stations have bounded up here recently. Is this just a change of name from a former gas station or is it a completely new gas station?
I thought kangaroos were coal powered. 
I opened this thread expecting a discussion of marsupial flatulence.
If it’s any help in your fight against ignorance I found that the gas stations are owned by a company called “The Pantry” which I gather is some form of convenience store in the U.S.A.
Didn’t even need to google. Just guessed “www.kangaroogas.com” and here we are:
That acquisition sounds pertinent to the OP.
If this helps, one did pop up here near my home in Orlando, FL recently. It’s new construction, not a rebranding of an existing station, but then that really doesn’t prove anything either way.
I Googled “Kangaroo + gas” and didn’t get anything relevant, except for commercials. Pantry is a big convenience store chain in the USA, so the Kangaroo is a Pantry with a gas station. Now you can get gas both inside and outside the store. Thanks for the info.
Kangaroo farts may offer a way to combat global warming.
A kangaroo’s flatulence is, for reasons unknown to science, methane free. If the relevant principle, bacteria?, could be isolated from roos, and made to flourish in cow stomachs, we could do much to eliminate production of a potent greenhouse gas.
The first time I butchered a kangaroo, I accidentally nicked the intestines. It split open and whatever gas gushed out at me nearly made me wretch. It mightn’t be methane (or even a greenhouse gas) but it’s so abominable I can’t imagine we want more of the stuff.
Methane is actually odorless.
So people actually eat kangaroos? That’s awesome. You can use the pouch like a meat pita.

Reminds me of Paul Burrell eating kangaroo testicles on I Hope I’m A Celebrity When I Get Outta Here. Now that was some quality entertainment, he could have won a gurning competition and an Irish Jig contest at the same time.
Or Australian wildlife arming themselves with Weapons Of Mass Destruction. 
I’ve only eaten it once and that was in Singapore. The kinds of guys I went shooting with would only consider it food for artsy city-slicking wankers. We shot them for the dogs. Tails and hindquarters only and the rest down an abandoned mineshaft. As a city-slicking wanker, I occasionally thought I’d join them down there.
Never thought of that but the scrotum often makes an appearance as change purses in souvenir shops. Dreadful kitsch but I’m told they sell well.
Not so, at least not always. In my parents’ town there is a Pantry that sells gas. In my town 20 miles away, there’s a Kangaroo gas station. My guess is that The Pantry and Kangaroo were separate entities until one bought the other, and they didn’t trouble themselves to rename the existing stores.
awldune:
It’s to their advantage not to. If people think the two are in competition, and there’s one other competing gas station nearby, the Kangaroo/Pantry super-brand has a 2/3 shot of getting the business rather than a 1/2 shot.
Exxon and Mobil are the same company now also, but I still see plenty of Exxon stations across the street from Mobil stations.
(On the other hand, BP made a mega-big deal of changing all the Amoco stations when the former bought the latter…wonder why?)
… and they don’t echo. No one knows why.
When I lived in Gainesville, Florida between 2001 and 2003, the closest gas station was a Kangaroo. It always had the cheapest gas prices for miles around, and the inside convenience store was large, clean, and quite nice. When it was crowded, we’d always drive by and say “The Kangaroo is really hopping!”
I haven’t been back for the better part of a year, so I’m not sure if anything has changed. I do know we don’t have any Pantry stores anywhere I’ve been in Florida, and that Gainesville Kangaroo was one of the few of its kind.
Kangaroo farts? No wonder they jump so high!
