Love’s opened a new location this week in Mandeville, Louisiana. The newest travel stop is Love’s first location on Interstate 12 and adds 125 truck parking spaces to Love’s network. The store includes Love’s fresh food items such as sandwiches, salads, wraps and fresh-cut fruit prepared on-site daily, Godfather’s Pizza and Hardee’s.
The new travel stop has space for EV chargers allocated. The company said it could quickly partner with local utility companies and install EV charging stations should there be customer demand.
In honor of the grand opening, Love’s will donate $2,500 to Lakeshore High School, $2,500 to the Boys and Girls Club of Metro Louisiana and $5,000 to the Manning Family Children’s Hospital. In addition, Love’s district managers work with eligible nonprofits in their area to make donations through community grants on an annual basis.
Love’s opened its first store of 2026 in Alamosa, Colorado, earlier this month. In February, Love’s mapped out its 2026 growth plan, with goals to add 20 new stores, remodel 35 existing stores, add 100 EV charges, expand its foodservice offer and more.
