According to the Idaho Statesman, The Boise School District's Franklin and Cole elementary school properties have been bought by Maverik Inc., the convenience store and gas station chain, for $3.8 million.

Cole Elementary School's 7.6-acre site at the corner of Cole Road and Fairview Avenue sold for $2.5 million. The 4.7-acre Franklin site, at the corner of Orchard Street and Franklin Road, sold for $1.3 million.
