On Monday, Aug. 7 construction crews broke ground at the southeast corner of Mark Street and N. IL Route 83 in Bensenville for the building of a brand new Pilot travel center. This $5 million dollar project will feature a 6,000 square-foot facility, offering a PJFresh Market, dining area and convenient store. This project will transform an underutilized space into an amenity to serve existing businesses with food and fuel within the vicinity of their property. Eighty construction jobs to build the facility and twenty permanent jobs will be created within the Village of Bensenville. All operations will be available 24 hours a day. Pilot is a family owned business, the 7th largest private company in the United States and strongly believes in giving back to the communities they serve. “We are thrilled to welcome Pilot to Bensenville and look forward to seeing the community utilize this facility” said Village President Frank DeSimone. “With more redevelopment opportunities like this on the horizon, Bensenville is making major strides in the right direction,” he said. Construction is scheduled to be completed in November of 2017.
