Quicklee’s Travel Center in Avon, New York, is another great example of a beautiful location.
The location is 19,000 square feet and sits on nearly 10 acres. Inside there is something for everyone. Like every modern travel center, there are the traditional c-store snacks, candy and beverages, and electronics and truck accessories. The store colors, use of different materials, and the layout and design make this operation POP from a visual standpoint.
Additionally, besides their grab-n-go food program, there is a Dunkin Donuts and a Calabresella's New York Style Deli, which has several delicious offerings. The deli has rave reviews on Yelp and is loved by locals and travelers alike. One reviewer said, “My wife told me about this new sub shop at Quicklee's Travel Stop on 390 South, so we decided to stop and check it out. She told me they put this in here for the truckers, well I'm not a trucker but this is THE BEST sub I have ever had!”
There is also a community lounge area for all customers and Wi-Fi both inside and outside.
The location is part of the AMBEST community of truckstops, has a CAT Scale, AMBEST Shop, car wash, parking for 150 trucks, DEF at every diesel pump, showers and is branded Mobil gasoline.
Truckers appreciate all that the location offers. It is a good looking store with a great selection of food, merchandise and exceptional service led by their General Manager Johnny.
