The Kansas Turnpike Authority (KTA) announced yesterday new dining options will be available this spring at the Emporia Service Area on I-335. “The restaurant will change to Subway and Taco John’s as a result of a recent request for proposals from quick-service vendors. The existing . . . restaurant will close for remodeling on March 15, 2023. Schedule permitting, the Subway and Taco John’s drive thru is tentatively slated to open in early May with the restaurant opening to walk-in customers in early June.” (KTA is in the process of awarding decennial restaurant operation contracts at three other service areas, Topeka, Matfield Green, and Towanda.)
