JOLIETTE, QC, April 17, 2026 /CNW/ – Harnois Énergies is proud to announce the official opening of its new large-scale site in Woodstock, Ontario, located at Exit 230 off Highway 401. The largest facility in its network, this rest area, called Travel Stop, is designed to meet the needs of both transportation professionals and everyday travelers.
A well-known and valued stop within the trucking industry, the location is making a strong return following extensive renovations. Harnois Énergies is pleased to revitalize this strategic hub along Canada’s east–west corridor, now operating under the Esso banner.
A Stop Designed for Everyone
Fully modernized, the Woodstock Travel Stop has been thoughtfully designed to enhance comfort for Highway 401 users and deliver a complete, high-quality stopover experience. The site features two Proxi convenience stores offering a wide range of ready-to-eat meal options, a spacious dining area, and an ice cream counter. In the coming weeks, the food offering will be further enhanced with the addition of quick-service restaurants, including Tim Hortons.
To celebrate the opening, Harnois Énergies will be offering gifts to visitors: the first 200 truck drivers will receive a special gift, while the first 250 motorists will be awarded an Esso Price Privileges card.
A New Exclusive Program for Truck Drivers
In addition to its wide range of on-site services, Harnois Énergies is introducing the Driver’s Club Rewards program, available exclusively at the Woodstock Travel Stop. Members will enjoy a variety of benefits, including in-store perks, complimentary meals, and free access to shower facilities, in accordance with program terms and conditions. Membership cards can be obtained directly on site.
A Vision for the Future
The Woodstock site represents a key milestone in Harnois Énergies’ strategy to develop large-scale destinations tailored to the needs of both truck drivers and travelers. The Travel Stop website is part of this broader vision and will progressively bring these locations together under a unified platform. While Woodstock is currently the only site of its kind, it sets the stage for a growing network in the years ahead.
