TravelCenters of America Expands AmenitiesTravelCenters of America LLC (TravelCenters), operator of TA® and Petro Stopping Centers® branded travel centers, has announced that 22 of its travel centers now include businesses geared toward servicing various medical needs of professional drivers, including four that have recently opened.

TravelCenters encourages drivers to get involved with their StayFit program; a combination of better-for-you food offerings, fitness options, and helpful information to keep drivers fit and stay healthy. There are many StayFit items and activities throughout our travel centers. Healthier snack and dining options are noted with the StayFitĀ symbol on select convenience store items and full-service restaurant menu options at participating TA and Petro locations. StayFitĀ exercise options include fitness rooms, walking/running trails (maps available at most locations), basketball hoops and outdoor fitness areas at many locations - all offered at no cost to customers. In addition, many sites now offer horseshoe and bean bag toss recreation options allowing professional drivers the ability to foster a sense of community and respect with one another, while getting in some light exercise. To play, equipment will be loaned free of charge to drivers from the Travel Store counter.
