Beckley is home to a new travel plaza. It is located at I-77 Exit 45 on the West Virginia Turnpike and serves as a rest stop and convenience hub for motorists, truck drivers and vacationers. The original plaza was demolished and replaced with a modern facility that reopened in late 2024 after a major renovation project aimed at bringing world-class services to travelers. The plaza features Wendy’s, Starbucks, Popeyes and Mountain State Market. Those are all pretty familiar to folks, except the Mountain State Market. The market space is filled witg grab-and-go sandwiches, snack packs, chips, drinks and more. My favorite find was local freeze-dried treats from CryoCrave, which included taffy, fruit and even pizza. In the travel plaza, you can also find West Virginia foods, like honey, maple syrup, coffee, salt and more. It's not a bad little stop if you need to fuel up - both for you & your car.
