New Travel Centers Located in South Dakota,
Texas and Florida
TravelCenters of America Inc. (Nasdaq: TA), nationwide operator
of the TA, Petro Stopping Centers and TA Express travel center
brands, today announced its plans to open three new travel centers
in as many weeks during June. The openings are all conversions of
existing travel centers to TA-branded sites, part of TA’s broader,
strategic turnaround initiatives, which includes plans to rapidly
grow its nationwide travel center footprint through franchising to
better serve its large fleet customers and professional
drivers.
Planned openings include:
- June 2: TA Express opens in Vermillion, South Dakota. (The
fourth Coffee Cup Fuel Stop converting to a TA Express through a
franchise agreement with Heinz, Inc.)
- June 10: TA Express opens in Nacogdoches, Texas. (Formerly the
Gateway of Nacogdoches Travel Center.)
- June 17: TA travel center to open in Lake City, Florida.
(Formerly the Shuttle Truck Stop 75.)
With these openings, TA will expand its network of total travel
centers to 269. More openings are planned for 2020, in cities
including Huntington, Oregon; Cookeville, Tennessee; Edgerton,
Kansas and South Houston, Texas.
“Expanding our travel center network through partnerships with
existing facilities is a key part of our growth strategy,” said Jon
Pertchik, CEO of TA. “Whether it is a full service travel center or
smaller format TA Express, this growth allows us to offer more
drivers the fuel, restaurants and other services they need while
doing their important jobs which, with the COVID-19 pandemic that
is currently impacting our country, are more critical than
ever.”
TA announced in May its focus on franchising to expand its
network. Since the beginning of 2019, TA signed 18 new franchise
agreements.
