Woodstock truck stop getting brand new lease on life
After sitting vacant for roughly four years, a Woodstock truck stop will soon again be welcoming drivers who need a break, some gas and a bite to eat.
The former TA Truck Stop—a popular stop for truckers along Highway 401 and Oxford County locals—was recently purchased by Quebec-based Harnois Énergies and is gearing up for a spring reopening.
"Harnois Énergies is proud to revitalize this key hub along Canada's east-west transportation corridor," company officials stated in a release.
Located at Exit 230 on Highway 401, the TA Truck Stop closed in 2022 when its U.S.-based parent company decided to leave the Canadian market. The property was sold in 2024, when it was acquired by BP Products North America. Harnois Énergies then announced its own purchase of the Woodstock truck stop on Jan. 22.
Truck stop amenities
- Diesel, gasoline, propane and diesel exhaust fluid
- Extensive parking for heavy-duty trucks
- Quick-service dining options, Tim Hortons restaurant with drive-thru
- Multiple showers and a dedicated truckers' lounge
- RV filling stations
- Two convenience stores
- Mechanical services
- Certified truck scale
The Woodstock location will be the largest stop in Harnois Énergies’ growing network. The Quebec gas station chain, founded in 1958, has more than 200 locations across Quebec, Ontario and the East Coast.
Truckers' lounge
The truck stop will have on-site mechanical services, two convenience stores, a Tim Hortons restaurant and a dedicated truckers' lounge with showering facilities, among other amenities.
With plans to open this spring, Harnois Énergies is starting the hiring process next week. A recruitment event will be held on Thursday, Feb. 5, from noon to 7 p.m. at 535 Mill St. in Woodstock. More details are available online on the Proxi Facebook page under events.
Harnois Énergies is hiring for food service, customer service, maintenance and supervisory roles at the Woodstock site.
