Johnson’s Corner Sold to TravelCenters of America

The iconic, independently operated Colorado truck stop known as Johnson’s Corner has been sold to the largest truck stop chain in the country, TravelCenters of America. The sale went through at the end of September. Original owner Joe Johnson started the truck stop in the 1950s. The stop became famous for its cinnamon roll, which was baked at home by an employee. In the ’60s, the Corner began baking the cinnamon rolls in a formal bakery. Today, 15,000 cinnamon are sold each month across the Front Range.

TA intends to open satellite bakeries and sell the cinnamon roll at its truck stops across the country. As is always the case when a sale such as this occurs, TA says everything will remain just as it always was
