[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 77502739, member: 123415"] That's their "rebid" period for ones they already have...however, NY State is in the middle of a big revamp project in which they'll be rebuilding and expanding 23 of their 27 facilities over a rolling period. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.thruway.ny.gov/travelers/travelplazas/service-area-project/index.html[/URL] In a separate news story about this (that came out prior to the one about Graham) [I]The New York State Thruway’s rest areas are currently undergoing a $450 million upgrade and adding new restaurants. Seven of the Thruway rest area locations now contain a Chik-fil-A, with three more to be added, [URL='https://cbs6albany.com/newsletter-daily/new-bill-in-albany-would-make-chick-fil-a-stay-open-on-sundays-at-nys-thruway-rest-stop-locations']CBS 6[/URL] reports. Chik-fil-A’s company-wide policy calls for stores to be closed on Sundays, but the new legislation would challenge this.[/I] So it sounds like there are 3 proposed new locations on the Thruway that are "at risk".
