The Mormon Church (also know as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints or LDS church) does not own the flying J travel centers. I would think that by buying them they would risk losing their tax exempt status as a church in the United States.
No. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) is not looking for people's money. Paying money to the church is not required of members, although members are encouraged to follow the Biblical practice of paying a tithe (10%). The Mormon church, like most every faith group, is a non-profit organization that operates entirely on donations, so of course they appreciate money donations. However, their main focus is not collecting money but spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
