Quick stop in parking near Jackson Center AS store?

Not seeing a lot of quick stop parking at the Jackson Center AS store. Plan to stop with an FC28RBT just to check out the store on our trip North to Michigan. Anyone else just stop to stop and did you find parking close to the Airstream Store? I don't mind a couple blocks walking, but certainly don't want to have to drop the trailer somewhere and drive to town. I've actually bee to the store a couple years ago, but didn't have an AS then...was in the dream stages of life. Now we have one and just need an hours worth of parking. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance as always
Scott N Dee

I am not sure if the store moved to the new facility or not. If it is still at the service facility, parking could be fond at the tera port or along the road around the building. Also, I am not sure what restrictions have been put in place because of COVID.

Either way there is lots of free parking on the property.

We went in for service in April 2020. Teraport was closed but we just parked in the parking lot of the service center and dry camped. There is plenty of parking at the service center. I’m also not sure if the gift shop moved to new center or not.

Sure is, we stopped here for an hour after our axle upgrade last August. Sanitizer & masks available & required.
It's right alongside the store, plenty more on the other side also.

Like Bob said...

Yep, I was there the end of October for service and parked to the right of the building to check in. If that stretch of parking is full, go down towards the Terraport and turn around. There’s room to park without blocking the trailers in for service.

The store is open, they’ll take your temp at a station by the door.

Was at JC in Oct 2020 for service. The store was still in the service center and the Terrra Port fully open. Lots of parking area.

Was there two weeks ago. Ditto about easy in and out. Factory is still isolated due to COVID.

You'll stop just inside the door, take yoru temp and fill out a sickness survey. They are sort of understaffed due to COVID. BUT always friendly and helpful.

I was there in mid-December for 4 days. You can park your rig in the long lane to right of the Customer Service building; and then drive around the sprawling building to exit. Or do a U-turn as it is a very larger paved area - this is where the repair/warranty bays are.

The store is still where it’s always been, adjoining the customer lounge/waiting area. Opens at 0830, closes at 1630.

As of 1/29/2021

I was there this morning. There is a lot of parking available. At least at this time of year there was very low traffic.
The store is open but there are not a great many items in stock, as they are waiting for post Covid to open up the visitor center down at the new plant. I assume that they will open up something more involved down there.
