Birmingham Welcomes New Speedway Travel Center
Convenience Store Opens at I-65 Exit
Birmingham, Alabama – A new all-purpose travel center has opened its doors to the community at the busy Finley Boulevard exit off Interstate 65. The Speedway, a prominent convenience store chain in the United States, officially began operations on September 11 at 1617 Finley Boulevard, offering residents and travelers an array of services and amenities.
24-Hour Service and Affordable Fuel
The store, which is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, aims to cater to a variety of needs for those on the go. As of September 25, regular unleaded gas prices at the new location were reported at $2.49 per gallon, considerably less than the average price found at many other Birmingham convenience stores by roughly 20+ cents. This competitive pricing is expected to attract motorists looking for value during their travels.

Beyond fuel, the new Speedway location provides an extensive selection of amenities. Shoppers can find popular convenience items, snacks, and beverages. The store’s manager shared that customers can also expect to discover hygiene products and basic groceries, making it a convenient stop for many necessities.
Grand Opening Celebration Coming Soon
In addition to its recent opening, the Speedway is gearing up for its grand opening celebration scheduled for October 3. The event promises to be a festive occasion, inviting the community to come and explore the new facilities. Potential special promotions and giveaways are expected to enhance the festivities.
Community Engagement
As part of its outreach to the community, Speedway encourages local residents and visitors to share their experiences with the store on social media. Customers are invited to tag their posts with @bhamnow, creating a platform for them to connect and share their favorite products and services offered at the store.
Conclusion
The opening of this new travel center is a welcomed addition to Birmingham’s growing network of convenience services. With its accessible location off I-65 and an array of offerings, the Speedway aims to serve the needs of both locals and travelers alike.
