    I just went into the TA in Coachella CA, to eat and I see they closed the COUNTRY PRIDE RESTAURANT.
    There is a sign that says "Closed for good" The sign should have said "Good that it's closed". They still have the usual fast food garbage, Arbys, Taco Bell and Chesters Chicken. The last time I was here in May it was open although I didn't eat there. I remember there where no customers which warned me to go eat at the Taco Bell instead. I wonder what they will replace it with? Maybe another Dennys or Huddle House? Pass me the barf bag. Why don't they try opening something different? Maybe a Chinese Buffet or a Mexican Restaurant? I'm about sick of all these chain restaurants. Just sell TV dinners, a salad bar and some fresh fruit. Just put in about 15 microwave ovens to heat your food. I'd rather eat a decent Cheap TV dinner then the over priced crud a lot of these places are serving.

    I was at a Pilot a few days ago that had a Moes Southwest Grill. It was nice to see something different. The food was pretty good.

    Ya it is in a bad location. Lousy building design. This TA is going to lose a lot of money with I -10 shut down. This place is almost empty. I've seen two Pilots with a MOES. One in Mississippi on I-10 and another one in West Virginia on I-77. They are a lot better then Taco Bell.

    The future Pilot being built in Midland, TX is supposed to have a Moe's. Too bad it's in Midland though.

    They just built a pilot in Chillicothe, Ohio with a Moe's. I'd really like to see some of these places build better restaurants like Moe's, such as Panera Bread or Chipotle. Subway and McDonald's are inedible to me now. Granted the food costs a bit more, but I will gladly pay an extra dollar or two for substantially better quality.
     
    Ty3000, JohnBoy, rachi and 1 other person Thank this.

    Had dinner at the Country Pride inside the T/A in Limon, Co. a couple weeks back. The waitress was saying they are changing the hours of all the locations and closing some as well. Had breakfast at the one in Hillsdale today, business was strong at 6:30 am.

    like anything else these are all decisions based on revenues
    apparently not enough customer support to keep a restaurant open
    but plenty for a subway
    Barstow Ca has a Panera Bread beside the Blue Beacon
    I see very few walking across the street from the TS
    I only want to eat at places there is no place to park my truck :rolleyes:
