730 Truck Stop catches fire - Truck News

This was still closed summer 2018, couldn’t even park or get fuel.

That's a good start. Only a few thousand to go now.

Bowmanville 5th Wheel to close

I was at a motel over the holidays that had a map at the front counter with a HUGE advertisement for the 5th Wheel truck stop. I asked how old the map was, but the staff didn’t know. They’ve been closed a LONG time maybe time for a new map

I have seen many restaurants come and go at that truck stop from back in the days when it was a pipeline card-lock and a convenience store. The first restaurant that I remember was expensive but the food was good.
When the Punjabi guy bought the place i don't think there was a restaurant.
And then it became a PFJ and a Denny's of course.
Denny's is nothing to get excited about.

I agree, but it’s better than nothing. The Tims is closed at the duty free, too

Tims coffee, dumped in the ocean, kills all the whales..

Tims coffee dumped in any lake, kills all the fishies

Tims coffee dumped in a landfill, makes all the methane gas disappear.

Tims coffee dumped in a sewer unclogs all the muck

Tims coffee spilled on a table, burns thru that table, then the floor, then the foundation.

no big loss for Tims out of business.

Oh hey now, I think you just declared war on Canada Brazil! RBI out of Brazil now owns Tims and Burger KIng and both have sucked ever since they took over ownership.
Tim's was still good when the Americans owned it, the TDL group but nothing like when the Horton family owned it.

I have never had a Horton’s coffee that I liked. I dunno how long the Brazilians have owned it but my first Tim’s experience was about 2 years ago. However, if I can park close to a WaWa I do enjoy their coffee.

when i did the Allentown, PA, DHL run, a WAWA (Rte 100 @ Schantz RD) was at the beginning of the road i needed.. i'd drop the trailer, and get on over there. always fresh rows of coffee, and freshly made breakfast sammichs, and that one also had a sandwich deli..(i am not sure all WAWA's have deli's...)

Yeah you missed the good times. I think it went down around the time they started doing "dark roast" because they had switched suppliers. They started the dark roast not long after or around the time they changed around all the cup size names. Whe was that? 6? 7 years ago?

Wawa is just a good experience for the northeast. Much like Kwik Trip is a good experience in the northern Midwest.

I'm surprised Kwik Trip isn't much bigger (area of the country they cover not parking lots). They've got a real good thing going as far as the stuff they offer. The lots are usually big enough to be doable but small enough to keep out most of the wheel holding riff raff too.
