RaceTrac has opened its first travel center in Huntsville, Alabama. This is the convenience-store chain’s third RaceTrac store catering to large fleets and professional drivers. The travel center, at 1855 Highway 72, also marks RaceTrac’s eighth store in Alabama.
“Many professional drivers who pass through neighboring areas of North Georgia and Tennessee are already familiar with our brand and our mission of making people's lives simpler and more enjoyable,” said Justen Giambalvo, vice president of construction, engineering and special projects at RaceTrac, Atlanta. “As we continue to open stores across Alabama, we hope to reintroduce RaceTrac by working closely with the local communities where our guests live and work.”
