Pilot unveiled its new flagship travel center in Stanton, Tennessee, spanning over 20,000-square-feet. This location is now the largest travel center in Pilot’s network and features a bolder brand-forward design, a guest-focused layout with inviting spaces and expanded fresh food offerings. The design of this location will inspire future projects throughout 2025 as Pilot continues to modernize and test new concepts.

Redefining the Roadside Experience

More than 200 Pilot and Flying J locations have been upgraded to date as part of the company’s New Horizons initiative, while continuously integrating feedback from team members and guests after every remodel. Pilot’s guests shared that they are 80% more likely to return after visiting a remodeled location, underscoring the program’s impact and value.

So far this year, the company has completed 11 remodels, extensively upgrading restrooms and showers, expanding kitchens and implementing thoughtful layouts to create a more seamless and consistent experience for guests and team members.

These recently remodeled locations include:

• Pilot #200 – Boron, CA
• Pilot #365 – Madera, CA
• Pilot #575 – St. Mary’s, GA
• Pilot #495 – Brooklyn, IA
• Pilot #595 – Marion, IL
• Pilot #41 – Mt. Sterling, KY
• Flying J #676 – Gulfport, MS
• Pilot #7976 – Troutman, NC
• Flying J #852 – Lancaster, ON
• Flying J #789 – London, ON
• Flying J #790 – Napanee, ON

Pilot is also broadening its network, opening its first new travel center of the year in Winfield, Alabama, and adding three dealer locations to its Pilot and One9 travel center network. These locations add more than 150 truck parking spaces to Pilot’s network and offer complete travel center services and amenities to meet the needs of all journey makers wherever the road takes them. In addition, the company opened five new maintenance and tire service shops this quarter, bringing the total number of Southern Tire Mart at Pilot locations to more than 80 nationwide.

Leading the Charge with Pilot’s Expanding EV Network

Pilot is driving forward with its EV network, now surpassing 130 locations in more than 25 states. Designed to provide a best-in-class charging experience, these locations offer amenities not found at other charging stalls, including canopies for weather protection, free Wi-Fi, dining options, clean and well-lit facilities and access to restrooms and showers. Since the beginning of this year, Pilot has installed 12 new fast-charging locations spanning 10 states—Alabama, Indiana, Michigan, Virginia, Texas, Pennsylvania, Nebraska, California, Oregon and Missouri. With EV charging now available along major interstates and popular travel routes, the company is empowering EV drivers to explore farther with confidence and ease.
