Pilot Flying J has opened a newly acquired travel center located at Highway 13 South and U.S. 54 in Collins, Mo. It is currently being remodeled to include full amenities for professional drivers and the motoring public.


The 7,390-square-foot travel center features six fuel islands and eight diesel islands along with a restaurant and a wide variety of convenience items. The facility features high-speed fuel pumps that provide faster flow so customers can refuel quickly.

When the remodeling is complete, the Collins location will include a Subway restaurant; clean restrooms; pay phones; fax and copy services; Western Union; an ATM; lottery and Lotto tickets; an arcade; an AirVac; and general merchandise for professional drivers and highway travelers.

"We hope that Collins area residents and fleet customers will enjoy the convenience and amenities of our new Pilot Travel Center," said Jimmy Haslam, president and CEO of Pilot Flying J. "The travel center will serve this community through products and services as well as contribute to the local economy through jobs and tax revenue. And, we'll fill the needs of those carrying goods to communities across the nation."

In addition to diesel fuel, professional drivers will have access to such services as a Cat scale, laundry services, three automated showers and 35 parking spaces for trucks. The Collins location also features a driver kiosk, so professional drivers can get in and out of the store quickly and be on their way.

The Collins Pilot location also will feature a deli area with Oscar Mayer hot dogs, sandwiches, pizza and pastries.
