Love’s Travel Stops recently announced its 2023 strategic growth plans and says it will open 25 more truck stops, remodel existing locations and open more truck maintenance locations in this year. In addition to the 25 new travel stops, the Oklahoma City-based chain plans to open 15 Love’s Truck Care and Speedco locations.
The company says it will soon announce plans to remodel existing stores over the next several years, including bathroom updates as well as complete remodels. Stores undergoing updates will remain open during the process.
Love's also says it plans to open 30 new restaurants. It operates more than 1,100 restaurant locations. And it plans to add 80 to 100 additional Amazon Lockers, bringing the total to more than 200.
The company recently announced partnerships with Interstate Batteries to offer customers Interstate-branded batteries exclusively, and a partnership was recently announced with Daimler Truck North America to provide light mechanical warranty work on Freightliner trucks.
Along with the 15 new truck care locations, Love’s has added 75 maintenance bays, 75 emergency roadside service trucks, two tire retread centers, and expanded services to fleet yards.
To have qualified diesel technicians and mechanics, the company also has added two new Love’s Truck Care Academies, which gives the company four locations to train team members.
