Setting the New Standard
The TA Express Center in Statesboro, GA stands as a strategic milestone in TravelCenters of America’s network — the first site delivered with its new TA Express design and a showplace for future franchisees to experience the concept firsthand. This travel center features modern conveniences and amenities, including a three-bay TA Truck Service Center, multiple fueling options, welcoming restrooms and showers, laundry facilities, a professional drivers’ lounge and a Burger King restaurant, all crafted to serve professional drivers and everyday motorists alike.
A prefabricated system forms the roof structure of both the convenience store and the truck repair shop, with exposed double tees supported by prefabricated columns, beams, and concrete masonry units. Wells' integrated off-site fabrication approach and project execution discipline allowed installation for both buildings to be completed in just three days, delivering durability and schedule certainty.
Located at I-16 and Highway 301 in what is now Bruce Yawn Commerce Park, TA Express Statesboro also serves as a catalyst for broader economic growth in the region. As the first business to open in the commerce park, the travel center is positioned as a key anchor for future development, increasing visibility and activity along this critical interchange while providing essential services and amenities that support travel and commerce.
