Love's Travel Stops Upgrading 200 Locations

Love’s Travel Stops will invest more than $1 billion over the next five years to update 200 locations across the United States. 

Stores being remodeled will remain open and when completed each location will have a modern look and an open concept, company officials said. Locations will be equipped with open-kitchen concepts, multiple restaurant options and updated Love’s Truck Care and Speedco locations. Where space allows, dog parks will be added to locations as well.

“Investing in existing locations is another way Love’s prioritizes creating a first-class experience for customers,” said Randy Swain, director of construction and remodels for Love’s. “Being strategic with how we update existing locations – and keeping them open during the process – strengthens Love’s commitment to getting customers back on the road quickly.”

Love’s Strategic Remodel Initiative identifies those locations that will be updated based on foot traffic, sales and store age. Locations in El Paso, Texas, and Columbia, Tenn. will be among the first to have their remodel projects completed. Love’s locations in Oklahoma City and Gary, Ind., reopened in February after the completion of full rebuilds.

In addition to Love’s Strategic Remodel Initiative, the company plans to open 25 new locations in 2023.
