Pilot opens Georgia travel center off I-16

A new Pilot Travel Center opened for business in Georgia this week.

On July 29, a new Pilot store opened off I-16 at Exit 143, at 130 Interstate Exchange Way in Ellabell, Georgia.

Amenities at the Ellabell Pilot include:

• 8 fuel lanes
• 72 public truck parking spaces
• 6 showers
• 10 “Prime parking” spaces

“Pilot is proud to serve as the newest resource for members of the Ellabell community to rest, relax and refuel on their travel journeys,” the company said in a news release.

Earlier this year, Knoxville, Tennessee, headquartered Pilot said that the company’s growth plan for 2024 includes building 10 new travel centers in “several states,” to add approximately 500 new truck parking spaces to the Pilot network.
