COVID-19 Response
We are open and ready to serve you.
We at TA and Petro Stopping Centers are doing the best we possibly can to continue to serve you as the COVID-19 situation evolves. Thank you for your patience and support as we navigate through COVID-19 together.
Our operational directives are made relying on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization.
The following are our best current updates regarding our services and amenities:
- All fuel lanes are open.
- Our showers are open and you can still reserve showers through the app. Our employees continue to use the highest-quality chemicals when cleaning each shower.
- We are following individual state mandates regarding closures of full-service restaurant dining. Some states are implementing 50% occupancy caps while others are mandating full dining room closures. Updates by state can be found below. The buffets and soup and salad bars in our Iron Skillets and Country Prides are closed, as are some of our dining rooms. Currently, carry-out at all restaurants is still available. You may order online from Iron Skillet ahead of time. Depending on the applicable government mandate, we may have to bring the food out to you. Specific information will be available at the travel center.
- Our quick-service restaurants are open. However, you will not be permitted to eat in the dining areas due to mandates as stated above. Depending on the applicable government mandate, we may have to bring the food out to you. Specific information will be available at the travel center.
- We are increasing our cleaning frequency and continue to use best-in-class, food-safe cleaners to disinfect and sanitize common touch points within the restaurants and travel centers. These include showers, restrooms, registers, door knobs, tables, menus, chairs, booths, counters, and all dishes, utensils and cooking surfaces.
- We have closed our Fitness Centers and Driver Lounges until further notice.
- For customers that usually use a TA/Petro refillable mug, we ask that you discontinue their use at this time. Please use a disposable cup; you will still qualify for the refill price: just tell the cashier that you participate in the refillable mug program.
- Our employees have been advised to take care of themselves and be aware of best practices for preventive safety measures. This includes frequent hand washing and staying home when feeling ill.
Thank you for continuing to allow us to serve you as we navigate through this unprecedented time together. The decisions we make are with your health and safety at top of mind. We will continue to provide updates on our COVID-19 response page.
Thank you for your continued service – we appreciate all you do to keep our economy moving.
