TravelCenters of America opens four new locations
The retailer has also detailed its expansion plans for the rest of the year and the completion of enhancements to over 50 travel centres across the country.
TravelCenters of America has announced plans for the expansion of its network and an update on its guest experience. The company opened four new travel centres, plans to open four more by the end of 2022 and has completed enhancements of over 50 travel centres as part of a site upgrade plan announced last year.
The recent openings, three of which are company owned and operated while the remaining one is franchised, have increased TA’s nationwide network of travel centres to 280, including 41 franchise sites.
“We are listening to our guests’ feedback and are pleased to offer what they are looking for - a welcoming and engaging travel centre experience- through newly built and refreshed locations. As we continue growing to serve more travellers, we are enhancing their experience by expanding food offerings, supporting guest health and continuing to update and upgrade our sites,” said Jon Pertchik, CEO of TravelCenters of America.
Site improvements include the enhanced comfort of driver lounges, renovated restrooms, upgraded showers, new lighting fixtures, new flooring and fresh paint, new store signage and repaved parking lots.
These improvements are joined by TravelCenters of America's recent announcement of an initiative to expand its support of professional drivers’ health and well-being through a collaboration with Cleveland Clinic, one of the world’s most respected academic medical centres. The collaboration with Cleveland Clinic will result in new healthy meal options to be included on the menus at all Country Pride and Iron Skillet full-service restaurants starting Nov. 1 and will identify healthy snack and grab-and-go food options in travel stores.
