Love’s Travel Stops completed updates to its Rolla, Missouri, location. The remodel “prioritizes an upgraded customer experience … and now offers a more modern design for customers, including an updated sales floor, bathrooms and showers, restaurant lobby and a newly painted interior and exterior design,” said the retailer.
Under its remodel initiative, Love’s is investing more than $1 billion in remodeling efforts for current locations.

Over the next four years, Love’s plans to update more than 200 locations.
