World’s biggest truckstop keeps growing
WALCOTT, Iowa (Dec. 9, 2004) — The Iowa 80 Group has announced a multi-million dollar expansion and remodel at the infamous Iowa 80 TA Truckstop.
Ground has been broken for a 17,000-square-foot addition to the trucker store that will bring total square footage of Iowa 80’s main building to more than 67,000, ensuring that the title of World’s Largest Truckstop will remain in Walcott.
The new addition, called The SuperTrucks Center, will boast a glass elevator to take drivers to the second floor amenities. Several full-size tractors and tractor trailers will display new interior and exterior chrome and stainless products as well as lights so drivers can see how the merchandise looks installed on a truck.
The most unique feature will be a semi-tractor on a rotating floor that will be seen through giant glass windows on the northeast corner of the building.
