A hair styling shop in a truck stop might sound unusual but Petro truck stops around the nation often have one inside their "stopping centers" that are part of the firm's 70 nationwide truck stop complexes.

Petro truck stops typically offer numerous services, including gasoline, oil changes, restaurant, a 5,000-item travel store, private showers, and a huge parking lot for more than 200 trucks.

The Petro Stopping Center in Kingdom City has all of these services plus a theater, television viewing room, a pet area and a hair salon.
