Pilot Travel Centers unveiled plans to open new stores and remodel others.
Pilot Travel Centers effort to expand in the coming months includes plans to open new travel centers while also remodeling other locations across its network.
The company’s 2024 growth plan includes building 10 new travel centers to increase the company’s presence in several states, bringing additional services, amenities and more than 500 truck parking spaces to the road. Also, 25 dealer locations are expected to join the network.

In 2023, the company opened 10 new travel centers and welcomed more than 20 dealer locations to its network. The new stores were located along major routes in key markets, including Yucca and Ash Fork, Az.; Colton and Rialto, Calif.; Gallup, N.M.; McCarran, Nev; Edon, Ohio; Holladay, Tenn; Odessa, Tex; and Wamsutter, Wyo.

These major enhancements include curb-to-counter makeovers with refreshed restrooms and showers, new kitchens, expanded food and beverage options and updated technology.
