WESTLAKE, OH--TravelCenters of America LLC (TravelCenters) has opened a Fresh Healthy Cafe at TA Livingston, located at SR 99, Exit 203 -- Winton Parkway, in Livingston, California.

“We are adding this new Fresh Healthy Cafe to augment our StayFit program, which provides professional drivers better ability to follow their own wellness program with healthier food and exercise options while they are on the road”

"We are adding this new Fresh Healthy Cafe to augment our StayFit program, which provides professional drivers better ability to follow their own wellness program with healthier food and exercise options while they are on the road," stated Tom O'Brien, President and CEO of TravelCenters. "Drivers have recognized TA and Petro for identifying and offering healthier menu choices, and our new restaurant in Livingston is keeping with that recognition," he added.

Fresh Healthy Cafe quickly serves wholesome menu items to customers, an important feature for drivers who are on the clock. An alternative to typical fast food, the restaurant's menu options include smoothies, freshly squeezed juices, organic coffees and teas, healthy wraps, grilled paninis, hearty soups and salads, all made with fresh fruits and vegetables.

In the fall of 2011, Overdrive magazine conducted its annual "Voted Best" survey. The results showed that drivers prefer TA and Petro over the next closest truck stop brand 3:1 in the best overall truckstop category. TA and Petro dominated the survey in 26 other categories, including healthiest menus 3:1, and best driver rewards program 2:1 (UltraONE).

Professional drivers can earn UltraONE "Restaurant Rewards" credits at the Fresh Healthy Cafe and at all participating quick-serve and sit-down restaurants within the TA and Petro system. Reward information can be found at Ultra One Rewards.
