The new facility marks Pilot’s 40th in Illinois.
Pilot Flying J has opened a Pilot Travel Center in Morris, Ill., featuring full amenities for professional drivers.
“We’re thrilled that our new travel center will serve professional drivers traveling on I-80 through Illinois,” 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 Interstate 80 at exit 112, the travel center offers many amenities, including:
Eight diesel and 12 gasoline lanes with high-speed pumps for quicker refueling
A drivers’ lounge, 73 parking spaces for trucks and seven showers
Subway
PJ Fresh fast, casual food offerings including roasted chicken, meatloaf, pizza, soup, salads, sandwiches and hot dogs
Premium coffee and cappuccino selections
Everyday products for quick shopping needs
The new facility at 3801 N. Division St., is Pilot Flying J’s 40th location in Illinois. The travel center is adding 90 local jobs and is expected to contribute $3.5 million annually in state and local tax revenues.
“We invite professional drivers to visit our new location,” said Alec Macdonald, 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 4,400 lanes nationwide. Since the start of 2014, Pilot Flying J has opened 10 stores in the U.S.
As with all other Pilot and Flying J locations, the Morris 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.
