This is proving to be a busy summer for one of the country’s leading networks of travel centers.
Pilot recently announced it has opened two new locations and modernized a number of existing travel centers. It has also expanded the number of charging stations it has and is in the process of hiring 10,000 new employees.
The new travel centers are located in Chicopee, Massachusetts, and Ponce de Leon, Florida. Combined they have added 112 dedicated truck parking spaces and 15 diesel lanes.
Pilot said it has also performed “curb-to-counter upgrades” at 18 travel centers in 13 states and Canadian provinces. Remodeled stores feature updated restrooms, expanded hot food options and modernized layouts, according to Pilot.
The company also continues to add its Pilot eats food service to more locations.
“Pilot is focused on investing in areas that matter most to create spaces our guests want to return to and are worth staying for our team members,” said Sean Marrero, president of retail at Pilot. “Whether you’re stopping for a charge, a full tank, or a fresh meal this summer, we are making the most of every mile for every traveler on the open road.”
Pilot eats offers guests more ways to satisfy their hunger/cravings on the road:
-
by continuing to bring its full, hot deli menu to nearly 400 locations across North America, offering freshly prepared meals
-
by expanding Pilot eats Express to 250 locations, built for those who want grab-and-go options
-
by adding 24/7 service. Nearly 350 owned-and-operated quick service restaurants such as Arby’s, Wendy’s, Subway and others are now operating 24/7 to ensure fresh food is available no matter the time of day
-
by providing mobile ordering: Pilot eats is now available on the Pilot app, DoorDash, Uber Eats and other platforms
As summer travel demand increases, so does the need for employees to help travelers get to their destinations on time and with everything they need. Pilot has launched its annual national hiring season with plans to hire about 10,000 team members across its network.
Open positions include both full-time and part-time opportunities in retail operations, food service and guest experience roles at travel centers nationwide. Interested candidates can learn more and apply at careers.pilotcompany.com.
