The chain continues to expand, with more national restaurant offerings at many locations. Brand additions to Flying J locations in the new network include Denny’s, Subway and Pizza Hut.

The company continues to upgrade drivers’ lounges, add new gasoline and diesel pumps, enhance showers and remodel restrooms at many locations.
