The New York Thruway is about to award a three-decade contract to a vendor for the rebuilding and operation of its 27 service areas. The service areas currently bring in $118 million in food and other sales per year, not including fuel sales.

In 2018, the New York Thruway Authority kept approximately $12 million from these sales. The new operator of the New York Thruway plazas will pay for the overhauls and take over a business that generated $118 million in food and other sales in 2018.
