The RaceTrac convenience store chain is giving dozens of its Dallas-Fort Worth shops a makeover - and adding pizza to the pit stop.

According to a release, RaceTrac is spending nearly $20 million to remodel 30 stores across DFW, bringing its signature in-store pizza bars to North Texas for the first time, plus upgraded coffee stations, refreshed interiors, and expanded food offerings.

The remodels began in early May and will continue through December, RaceTrac says, with one to three stores reopening each week.

The company says the project marks its largest concentrated investment in North Texas and is part of an effort to transform its convenience stores into destinations for fresh food as well as fuel.

"Our guests deserve the very best of what our brand has to offer," Melanie Isbill, RaceTrac's president of convenience retail, says in the release. "With these remodels, we're bringing a fresh store experience, new food offerings and the full RaceTrac pizza bar to DFW."

Among the upgrades customers can expect:

• Fresh pizza bars serving grab-and-go pizzas made in-store.
• Redesigned coffee stations featuring six blends of RaceTrac's "Crazy Good Coffee" and expanded fixings.
• Updated Swirl World frozen yogurt bars with additional toppings at select locations.
• Refreshed interiors with new paint, signage, graphics, and décor.
• Reorganized store layouts that group complementary products together, such as chips near beer coolers and pastries near the coffee station.

The remodeled stores stretch across the Metroplex, from McKinney, Melissa, and Denton in the north to Duncanville and Waxahachie in the south, and from Weatherford in the west to Garland and Wylie in the east. The specific stores are:
