Travel plaza and truckstop chain Onvo is holding the grand opening of its new plaza in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday.

The new location marks the official debut of the chain’s made-to-order food program, Food on the Fly, featuring the Craverito, a signature burrito, as well as bowls and quesadillas. The plaza will also serve a new line of Onvo-branded handcrafted coffee, espresso and lattes.

The food program marks Onvo’s entrance as a new contender in Pennsylvania’s convenience store made-to-order food market, the Scranton, Pennsylvania-based retailer said.

The grand opening featured a burrito-cutting ceremony to highlight the signature food offering instead of a traditional ribbon-cutting. The grand opening also featured complimentary food from the menu. hot pizza and snacks from the grab-and-go area and coffee tastings featuring the new coffee line.

The site has 36 truck parking spots, and it will add 80 more. There are 10 gas-fueling lanes, six high-flow diesel pumps, and 4 fast-charging electric-vehicle (EV) chargers under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act. The EV charging location will come online in 2025.

The plaza will also feature a hotel, the first of its kind in the area, with a target opening in 2025. It will also be home to Onvo’s first dog park, the Barking Lot.

“We’ve worked hard to develop a food program to provide travelers more choice when they’re on the road,” said Sonny Singh, co-founder of Onvo. “Our Food on the Fly market will feature foods from healthy to indulgent, including Onvo’s flagship product, a toasted burrito called the Craverito. We’ll also serve customers a new line of handcrafted coffee, espresso, and lattes, another first for Onvo. We look forward to providing the most delicious and accessible menu in the travel market.”
