(Adds details, BP deal)
March 27 (Reuters) - Convenience store operator Arko Corp offered to buy truck stop operator TravelCenters of America Inc for $1.4 billion, it said on Monday, trumping BP's $1.3 billion offer.
Arko's offer of $92 per share, which it said it made on March 14, is $6 higher than BP's offer made in mid-February, which TravelCenters of America has accepted.
Arko did not say if TravelCenters of America has considered or rejected its offer, but said in its statement it "believes the (TravelCenters) board's decision regarding Arko's proposal was incorrect".
It also urged TravelCenter's board to consider the offer.
The truck refueling company's shares were marginally higher at $86.50 in premarket trading.
