"BREEZEWOOD, Pa. - The Gateway Travel Plaza in Breezewood just off the Pennsylvania Turnpike is in the process of a major renovations. Gateway Vice President John Bittner said the project, which is underway, is adding a new food court, additional restrooms, expansion of the Radio Shack, a new arcade and an elevator.
"Bittner said the food court will replace the sit down Gateway restaurant and will now feature a Dunkin Donuts, Baskin Robbins, Arby's, Jimmy John's and a Gateway Homestyle Express that will feature the same item menus as the old restaurant, but in a take-out setting.
"He said the sit-down portion of the food court will have 270 seats.
"Bittner said the Dunkin Donuts, Baskin Robbins and Arby's are expected to open at the beginning of June and the Gateway Homestyle Express and Jimmy John's a month later.
"Bittner added they are seeking to buy more property in the future to expand its parking capacity.
"He said the renovations are intended to refresh the entire property and increase foot traffic in the facility.
"Bittner said the project is expected to add roughly 20 jobs at the facility."
