Love's Travel Stops Adds Locations In Kansas, Mississippi
Love’s Travel Stop continues expanding its store count with the recent openings of new locations in Wichita, Kan, and Hattiesburg, Miss. With the addition of these locations, Love’s surpasses the milestone of 650 stores during its 60th anniversary year.
The Wichita travel stop, located off Interstate 135 at 1504 E. 21st St., is one of Love’s largest stores and helps meet a big need for truck parking and other pro driver services in the Wichita metro area.
This location adds 122 truck parking spaces and a Speedco truck maintenance shop with truck wash services. In addition to Love’s Fresh Kitchen with food offerings prepared daily, this travel stop includes an Arby’s and Dunkin’ Donuts, national quick service restaurant partners with more growth opportunities for Love’s.
The Hattiesburg travel stop off Interstate 59 and Highway 98 at 283 Ira Hudson Rd. adds 84 truck parking spaces, and similar to the Wichita location, adds pro driver services to an area previously without a national travel stop presence.
Located along a major travel corridor to the Gulf Coast and near recreational attractions such as De Soto National Forest, this store is a strategic addition to Love’s growing RV network, with six RV hookups, RV dump service, private showers, Wi-Fi service, and more. Love’s food offerings in Hattiesburg include Love’s Fresh Kitchen and an Arby’s restaurant.
