RaceTrac on Thursday opened its first convenience store in Longview at 3120 Estes Parkway near Interstate 20.
" ... This new 8,100-square-foot travel center provides everything needed to refuel and recharge for the nearly 40,000 professional drivers, commuters, residents and travelers that pass through the area daily," RaceTrac said in a statement.聽
The location on Estes Parkway had for years been home to a long-vacant and deteriorating gas station and hotel.
"The family-owned brand has been bringing its 'Whatever Gets You Going' style of convenience to guests since 1934 and proudly operates under the mission of making people's lives simpler and more enjoyable," the company said. "RaceTrac stores are known for their delicious grab-and-go pizza, by the slice or by the pie. Coffee lovers can enjoy six blends of freshly ground, freshly brewed 'Crazy Good Coffee' with a wide range of their favorite creamers, sweeteners, and toppings.
The Longview RaceTrac also offers a "Swirl World" frozen treat station with a variety of frozen yogurts, sorbets and toppings.
"Classic favorites like Nathan's Famous hot dogs and roller grill items are available, as well as sandwiches made with high-quality ingredients, fresh fruit and salads," according to RaceTrac.
"In addition to a 16-pump front court with various fuel options, the new location caters to the needs of fleet drivers and construction vehicles with a spacious rear canopy, five lanes of high-flow diesel and DEF and tractor-trailer parking."
