Renovations are still ongoing inside several of the Ohio Turnpike service plazas along the 241-mile road, but the work is nearing completion.
At Wyandot and Blue Heron service plazas, milepost 76.9, the turnpike and AVI Foodsystems recently completed a new Marco’s Pizza and Starbucks, offering an expanded range of food and beverage options for travelers.
Starbucks’ hours of operation are currently limited, but will be expanded as staff is added.
At Erie Islands and Commodore Perry plazas, milepost 100, brand new Burger King, Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin-Robbins eateries were completed and opened as part of a project between the turnpike and Applegreen, USA. Work is well underway to transform the previous Sbarro and Auntie Anne’s restaurants into a new Sbarro and Panda Express in early 2024.
After some unavoidable delays at Great Lakes and Towpath plazas, milepost 170.1, the turnpike and Applegreen USA have begun the buildout of two new Popeye’s Louisiana Kitchen restaurants. Expedited construction is expected to be finished in time for a mid-February opening.
At Glacier Hills service plaza, milepost 237.2, Covelli Enterprises of Warren has completed a brand new Caribou Coffee, which is open daily from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.
We look forward to bringing these new improvements and the latest in-demand options to the service plazas.
