Pilot Flying J opened a Pilot Travel Center today (10/13) in Chillicothe, Ohio, featuring full amenities for professional drivers.
“We’re thrilled that our new travel center will serve professional drivers traveling along U.S. Highways 23, 35 and 50 in Ohio,” Pilot Flying J CEO Jimmy Haslam said. “We hope drivers will enjoy the convenience and amenities of our new Pilot Travel Center, where our team is working hard to make life better for professional drivers.”
Located off U.S. Route 50, the travel center offers many amenities, including:
- Seven diesel and 10 gasoline lanes with high-speed pumps for quicker refueling
- A drivers’ lounge, 66 parking spaces for trucks and five showers
- Moe’s
- Cinnabon
- Hot deli items, including hot dogs, sandwiches, pizza and soup
- Premium coffee and cappuccino selections
- Everyday products for quick shopping needs
The new facility at 1111 East Main is Pilot Flying J’s 37th location in Ohio. The travel center is adding 75 local jobs and is expected to contribute $3.1 million annually in state and local tax revenues.
“We invite professional drivers to visit our new location,” said Michael Hammer, general manager for the Pilot Travel Center. “Our staff takes great pride in providing the high- quality service our guests deserve.”
Opening the new store is one more step in Pilot Flying J’s mission to make life better for America’s drivers. In 2011, the company launched a $50 million project to remodel driver showers, and it offers diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) at the pump at more than 4,500 lanes nationwide. Since the start of 2014, Pilot Flying J has opened 12 stores in the United States.
As with all other Pilot and Flying J locations, the Chillicothe Pilot Travel Center honors the MyRewards loyalty card, through which members can earn in-store retail and restaurant discounts.
The combined network of over 650 Pilot travel centers and Flying J travel plazas across North America serves more than 1.3 million customers daily. For more information on Pilot Flying J, visit www.pilotflyingj.com.
