“HMSHost is honored to be a part of this history and the exciting changes that further enhance the Biden Welcome Center as a premier place for road travelers to enjoy the latest food and beverage choices and modern amenities,” said HMSHost President & CEO Steve Johnson.

Today’s event is a part of the ongoing innovation happening both inside and out of one the busiest service areas on the east coast. The Biden Welcome Center offers new fresh, fast, and on-trend dining choices such as Pret A Manger, along with innovative technology such as quick-service kiosks that enhance the experience for time-crunched motorists.
