Originally five Oases were built in 1959 by Standard Oil of Indiana (Amoco), on land leased from the Tollway Authority. The architect was PACE Associates, which stood for "Planning, Architecture, and Civil Engineering".
The restaruants were originally run by the Fred Harvey organization, but in 1975 they were taken over by Howard Johnson, who remodeled the interior and added their distinctive orange roofs.
The Oases were extensively remodeled in 1984 when the fast food chains took over from Howard Johnson, and Mobil replaced Amoco.
The new facility opened February 24, 2006 after the original facility was rebuilt from the bridge deck up. This oasis on the Tri-State Tollway (I-80/294) is now a McDonalds.
