Pilot continues its 'New Horizons' remodels with eight reopenings
The retailer has also unveiled a recently built travel centre in California as part of the transformation initiative for its network.
Pilot Company is celebrating the completion of eight store remodels as part of its New Horizons initiative as well as the opening of a newly built travel centre in Palmdale, California. To officially commemorate these stores with guests and team members, the company teamed up with their local communities, partner organisations and Monster Energy to host on-site events featuring BMX bike shows, break dancers, special guests, giveaways, and more than $100,000 in donations to area schools.
The festivities spanned from California to Missouri throughout the month of September and will continue in October with special offers and giving back check presentations at three locations that just completed their store remodels.
"Being that September is also when we recognize Driver Appreciation, it was only fitting that we go even bigger with these events to create a fun atmosphere for professional truck drivers and community members to gather together and have a good time," said Allison Cornish, VP of Store Modernization at Pilot Company.
The new Pilot travel centre in Palmdale and freshly remodelled locations incorporate Pilot Company's latest store amenities and modern finishes for guests to enjoy, including upgraded restrooms and bathrooms, expanded deli menu, new breakroom for team members, new kitchens and delis, expanded beverage selection, self-checkout equipment and remodelled branded kiosks and restaurants.
The three-year $1 billion New Horizons project marks the company's most significant investment in store modernization to date. It will fully remodel more than 400 Pilot and Flying J travel centres and make additional upgrades at several more locations across the country.
