580 Truck Stop

These buildings are of multipurpose design to include convenience store, food service, shower and toilet, game and restroom facilities for highway travelers and truckers. Good facilities include the typical coffee shop operation, while the average quality includes the limited lower priced fast food franchise operation. Lighting and plumbing, although adequate to service the operation, are not excessive or ornate.

Since truck stops have higher requirements for heating, cooling and ventilation, use component 617 (Complete HVAC) for HVAC costs.

The following are not included in the costs: Kitchen equipment, restaurant or convenience store fixtures, furnishings and signs.
