CoffeeBeans ground on-site for a better brew.

TravelCenters of America LLC (TravelCenters), operator of the TA and Petro Stopping Centers travel center brands, has introduced World Blends Coffee Co., with premium whole bean blends ground on-site just before brewing.

World Blends Coffee is available exclusively at TA and Petro and includes four varieties:

    House Blend, chosen for its rich, robust flavor;

    Dark Sky Café Blend, chosen for its extra measure of caffeine;

    Red Sky, a South American medium-bodied coffee; and

    High Mountain Arabica, a full-bodied dark roast.

“We understand that customers choose TA and Petro for a wide range of reasons — cleanliness, space to park, food options, a friendly atmosphere, convenience,” said Tom O’Brien, president and CEO of TravelCenters. “The list is as individual as the driver coming in from the highway. So we strive to have our locations meet as many driver needs and wants as possible, including the freshest roast on the road.”

“The coffee in our restaurants and travel stores was good before, but the new fresh ground, whole bean blends take our quality offering to another level,” shared John Ponczoch, senior vice president of food marketing & operations for TravelCenters.

“We set out to provide the best cup of coffee on the road, and we think drivers will agree we’ve succeeded. All they need to do is follow their nose and the tantalizing aroma to the nearest TA or Petro to get the ‘freshest roast on the road,” said Skip McGary, TravelCenters’ senior vice president of Travel Store Operations.

TravelCenters of America LLC (TravelCenters), headquartered in Westlake, Ohio, is a leading travel center business in 42 states and Canada operating under the TA and Petro Stopping Centers brands.
