Project type: Truck stop Location: Clarion, Pennsylvania Completed: 2024 StoreMaker solutions: ceiling fixtures, shelving, millwork, signage and furniture The owner already had a brand in place, so our role focused on turning the building into a high-performing interior: one that moves drivers through quickly when they are short on time and gives them a comfortable place to sit when they are not.
Professional drivers work against hours-of-service limits and tight delivery windows. Every minute at a stop matters. A good truck stop interior makes the essentials obvious: restrooms, coffee, hot food, cold drinks and checkout should be visible and reachable without a hunt.
The centerpiece of the Clarion interior is a generous dining area with a distinctive linear ceiling and warm lighting. Comfortable booths and tables give drivers and families a place to eat a proper meal, which keeps them on site longer and supports foodservice sales.
Truck stop furniture takes more wear than almost any other retail seating. StoreMaker specified and supplied durable booth seating and tables that look good on day one and still hold up after thousands of visits.
Cooler walls, beverage stations and shelving were laid out with clear signage so travelers can find what they need in seconds. Branded headers and consistent finishes connect the retail floor with the foodservice area.
Custom millwork and shelving were built for this exact floor plan. Counters, end caps and service points fit the space rather than forcing the layout around standard parts, which keeps aisles open and sightlines clear.
StoreMaker has designed and installed interiors for travel center brands including TA/TravelCenters of America and Pilot.

Ceilings and lighting shape how products look, how safe a store feels and how long customers stay. Here is how StoreMaker uses ceiling fixtures and lighting design to make c-stores, truck stops and grocery stores perform.
