What do you want from a Service Station

Hi, There is nothing suspicious in my question, I have become the operator of 3 Forecourts in Kent and one of them has a high volume of HGV customers. I understand all your comments about showers and at this time the site does not have shower facilities but seeing how important this is to many of you it is something that I will be taking away from this forum to develop in the future. It does however have toilets which is something we can get right, My first aim is to use your feedback to make quick changes to the product range hence the initial question. The bigger issues of Parking, Security, Restaurants & Showers are points that I can discuss with the service station operators. By engaging with you on here tells me what my customers are looking for so please keep the comments coming.

How about free wifi reaching the parking area like at Route 74 truck stop ?

  1. Yorkie Bars

If we’re going down the stereotypes route you might as well add a range of Scania branded bomber jackets and baseball caps, rigger boots and a fresh supply of hookers for us to strangle.
Anyone else want to feed the troll?
