SITES WITHIN TRAVEL CENTERS OR CONVENIENCE STORES

• Grill & Chill®: We typically require 2000 square feet of space, with drive-thru capability.
• Limited Menu Concept: We typically require 1500 square feet. While a drive-thru isn’t mandatory for the Limited Menu concept, it is strongly recommended due to the nature of highway business.

  We can often accommodate smaller areas if common rest rooms and/or seating areas are in place that meet our standards.
