OKLAHOMA CITY–In 2023, Love’s Travel Stops plans to open 25 travel stops and 15 Love’s Truck Care and Speedco locations, the company announced.

“What Tom Love started in 1964 has evolved into more than a store that offers gas, and we’ll continue to push the envelope with the addition of new services, amenities and partnerships,” said Shane Wharton, president of Love’s.

In addition to opening 25 new locations in 2023, Love’s will soon announce plans to remodel existing stores over the next several years, strengthening the company’s commitment to maintaining safe and clean locations. The plans include everything from bathroom updates to complete remodels. Stores undergoing updates will remain open during the process.

Customers will also see the continued expansion of Love’s-branded snacks and food items, including trail mixes, beef jerky, cold-pressed juices and fresh food items like mac and cheese, quesadillas and barbecue offerings this summer. Love’s will also add 30 new restaurants, continuing to be one of the top restaurant providers in the United States with more than 1,100 locations.

In addition to new food options, customers will see the expansion of Love’s RV network with the addition of 30 RV locations and 1,000 hookups, bringing the total to more than 1,300 hookups across the country. The company will also add 80-100 additional Amazon Lockers, bringing the total to more than 200.

In the statement, the company wrote that “Love’s commitment to getting drivers back on the road quickly will also be strengthened by the addition of 15 new truck care locations, 75 maintenance bays, 75 emergency roadside service trucks, two tire retread centers and expanded services to fleet yards. Finally, Love’s continues to offer the best service to professional drivers by expanding training opportunities for diesel technicians and mechanics with the addition of two new Love’s Truck Care Academies, giving the company four locations to train team members.”

Earlier this month, Love’s announced that it would provide select services for Freightliner vehicles at approved Love’s Truck Care and Speedco locations across the country.
