The announcement of the improvements follows TA’s September launch of an initiative to expand its support of professional drivers’ health and well-being through a collaboration with Cleveland Clinic. The collaboration 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.
“We are listening to our guests’ feedback and are pleased to offer what they are looking for—a welcoming and engaging travel-center experience—through newly built and refreshed locations,” said CEO Jon Pertchik. “As we continue growing to serve more travelers, we are enhancing their experience by expanding food offerings, supporting guest health and continuing to update and upgrade our sites.”
