TravelCenters of America has opened four new travel centers and completed updates at over 50 travel centers.
The four recent travel center openings, three of which are company owned and operated and one of which is franchised, increase TA’s nationwide network of travel centers to 280, including 41 franchise sites. The new sites include:
TA in Cuba, Missouri (formerly Midwest Travel Center)
TA Express in Fair Play, South Carolina (formerly Carolina’s Travel Center)
TA Express, Statesboro, Georgia (newly built company-owned site)
TA Express in Riverton, Illinois (newly built franchised site)
More Travel Centers Planned
Four additional franchised travel centers are expected to open by the end of 2022: two in California, and one in Missouri and Oklahoma.
Recent Travel Center Upgrades
TA completed over 50 site refreshments with improvements that 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.
Last month, TA announced an initiative to expand its support of professional drivers’ health and well-being through a collaboration with Cleveland Clinic. 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.
