If you’re headed to the U.S. Open next weekend, you’ll probably take the Pennsylvania Turnpike out to Oakmont, where this year’s tournament is being held. (You could go somewhere else, but you’d have a tough time finding the U.S. Open there.)
If you do take the turnpike out to Oakmont, you’ll be happy to know there are rest stops along the way, according to this helpful press release sent to PW from HMSHost.
Come this June, Oakmont, Pennsylvania will be a welcome haven for travelers and golf buffs alike. The debut of the new and improved Oakmont Travel Plaza will please the more than 30,000 drivers expected to pass through the city during the U.S. Open Golf Tournament. Designers at HMSHost, a world leader in travel food and retail, have created new outdoor patio seating and high rooflines made of glass that maximize sunlight. Before travelers rush off to see Tiger hit the links, they’ll want to take a moment to enjoy the scenic Pennsylvania beauty and a tasty bite to eat.
Delicious meals can be found even before arriving at the Oakmont Country Club. Tee up for that long time in the sun while you watch the pros and try the Peppercorn Parmesan Turkey with Bacon sub or a fresh Raspberry Chipotle Chicken salad from Quiznos. To satisfy that sweet tooth, go to Hershey’s Ice Cream for a Butter Pecan ice cream cone or banana split. Other options include Starbucks Coffee for a rejuvenating coffee pick-me-up or Burger King for the ever classic WHOPPER®.
Stopping for refreshments can taste and feel good this summer -HMSHost is kicking off a promotion with the Coca-Cola Company and the United Service Organizations, Inc. (USO) to raise funds for a third year to support U.S. troops and families worldwide. From Memorial Day through Labor Day, HMSHost and Coca-Cola will donate $0.05 from every purchase of a 32 oz. Coke fountain soft drink at select travel plazas nationwide.
The Oakmont Travel Plaza scores a hole in one for being part of a new era of quality food and retail service that HMSHost is providing this summer, and is the first of many travel plazas that Pennsylvania travelers have to look forward to (18 total!). Remember that HMSHost makes the journey as enjoyable as the destination – even the hard to beat U.S. Open!
Buy a Coke®, support the troops! Man, this new era of quality food and retail service sure is great.
