"The largest truck stop I've ever been in. Is it the largest? I'm sure someone knows. Let me know. The trucker's area is in the back part, but don't get it twisted, this isn't all about trucker supply. Yeah, they have customizable items as well as hard to find anywhere else floor mats and such, but there's also non truck related items to shop from.In the front, there is home decor. It's very strategically organized and displayed too. There is a section of country themed, another for nautical themed, you get the idea. There's something for everyone. The clothing was a bit too cowgirlish for my taste though. I'm not knocking the cowgirls though, I can rock my cowgirl boots too. I was there super early in the morning, and the most of the restaurants were closed so I can't comment on the restaurants, which includes: Iron Skillet, Caribou, Taco Bell & Pizza Hut, Blimpies, and Dairy Queen. My only complaint was the lack of grab and go food or drink options. They literally had less than any of the usual TAs or Pilot truck stops. I guess with the abundance of restaurants, they wouldn't sell the supplies like they need to? That's all that I can figure."
