Westlake,
OH – September 2018 / Newsmaker Alert / TravelCenters

Centers® full service travel center brands, has announced the opening

TA Express
travel centers will offer a majority of the fuel, merchandise, food and
other services that professional drivers familiar with the TA and Petro
brands have come to know and prefer. For professional drivers, TA Express
offers smaller, more nimble facilities allowing drivers to fuel faster,
fulfill basic travel needs and return to the road. Professional drivers
are able to earn and redeem UltraONE loyalty points at TA Express sites.
For motorists, TA Express will provide branded gasoline options, national
food offerings, convenience items and clean restrooms.

TravelCenters
will soon develop the TA Express network across the nation’s interstates
and other heavily traveled highways. Franchising TA Express units will
be one avenue of growth.
“TA
has served the needs of professional drivers and motorists for nearly 50
years”, said Barry Richards, President and Chief Operating Officer of TravelCenters.
“We’ve listened to our customers and have adapted our facilities to meet
their needs, including their need to have our locations in some areas where
you just cannot put a large format TA or Petro travel center. New distribution
centers country-wide have changed freight patterns and call for additional
fueling locations not restricted to interstates and 25 acre parcels.”
The
newly branded locations consist of two new additions to the TravelCenters
fueling network in Brush and Walsenberg, CO, a TA operated site known as
The Wild Bison in Alexander, ND and the conversion of a TA in Grand Junction,
CO.
