The Trenton North service centre in the Northumberland-Quinte West region is now open with most services available to travelers.

The new facility is currently offering fuel, washrooms, parking and a convenience store. Quick service dining options will be available in September.

Once fully operational, the Trenton North service centre will feature a number of quick-service dining options, including: Tim Hortons, A&W, Pizza Pizza, The Market, Coldstone Creamery and a Canadian Tire convenience store.

To date, the construction of this service centre has sustained or created approximately 50 jobs. Additionally, approximately 350 jobs will be created across Ontario when the first seven revitalized service centres fully open this fall.
