RaceTrac is set to open its new location at U.S. 280 and Shelby County 39 in July. The store will be 5,500 square feet and have eight gas pumps.
A new RaceTrac gas station is set to open in Chelsea next month. A traffic signal was installed at the intersection of Shelby County 39 and U.S. 280 several months ago where the station will be located.
Construction on this location began in February, and it is expected to open in July.
Megan Shannon, communications manager for RaceTrac, said they chose to put a location in Chelsea because of the growth of the Chelsea market and great traffic patterns on U.S. 280.
This location will be the company’s latest design of 5,500 square feet with eight fueling positions, Shannon said. The gas station will employ 15-20 members will be hired, bringing more jobs to the city of Chelsea.
At this RaceTrac location, guests can expect food options that include grab-and-go pizza; sandwiches made in-house with hand-selected, high-quality ingredients; whole and cut fruit and salads that are made and delivered fresh daily; Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs, along with tamales and taquitos.
RaceTrac’s Swirl World frozen treat station features a variety of ice creams, yogurts and sorbets with up to 28 toppings for added customization.
For coffee lovers, the store will feature six blends of freshly ground, freshly-brewed “Crazy Good Coffee” with popular creamers, sweeteners and toppings.
