Atlanta, GA – April
2021 / Newsmaker Alert / RaceTrac
announces the opening of its second travel center in the Atlanta area located
at 132 Forest
Parkway in Forest Park, Ga. This new facility will serve the needs
of the more than 6,000 professional drivers and workers that pass through

to provide the local community and visitors a safe, clean and comfortable
location where they can easily refuel and recharge, while also providing
a variety of great food and beverage options,” said Brian
Thornton, RaceTrac Vice President of Construction, Real Estate, Engineering,
and Special Projects. “In addition to Forest Park, we have six additional
travel center locations opening in 2021 across the Southeast and many more
planned for 2022 and beyond.”
