Love’s is committed to maintaining its position as a leader in the convenience store industry by prioritizing the safety and cleanliness of its locations for customers. Alongside their plans to open 25 new stores in 2023, Love’s is also working on remodeling existing establishments during the same period. This will involve a range of upgrades, from modernizing bathroom facilities to full-scale renovations, all while ensuring that customer service remains uninterrupted. Love’s recognizes the importance of providing a comfortable and hygienic environment for its customers and is taking proactive steps to enhance its facilities accordingly.
Beginning this summer, Love’s Travel Stops customers will have access to an even wider range of branded snacks and food options at its locations. Love’s plans to expand its food selection to include trail mixes, beef jerky, cold-pressed juices, and fresh food items such as mac and cheese, quesadillas, and BBQ offerings. Additionally, Love’s is set to add 30 new restaurants to its already impressive lineup of more than 1,100 locations across the United States, helping the company to maintain its position as one of America’s top restaurant providers. These new food options and restaurant locations demonstrate Love’s commitment to meeting the evolving needs and preferences of its customers while providing them with a variety of delicious and convenient dining choices.
Love’s Travel Stops is expanding its presence in a major way to cater to the increasing number of RVers across the country. The company plans to add 30 new RV locations, each with 1,000 hookups and 80-100 Amazon Locker spots, bringing Love’s total number of sites for travelers to over 1,300. To make the deal even more appealing, Love’s is offering exclusive discounts through its Connect app, including a 10 cent per gallon savings on gasoline and diesel. With this expansion, Love’s is working to meet the growing demand for RV-friendly amenities and offer customers even more convenient and affordable travel options.
Love’s Travel Stops has exciting news for professional drivers as the company has announced exclusive partnerships with Interstate Batteries and Daimler Truck North America. Customers can now find top-of-the-line, Interstate-branded batteries that are only available from major over-the-road stops, making Love’s a one-stop-shop for all their battery needs. Additionally, Love’s is now offering expert mechanical warranty work on Freightliner trucks, thanks to its partnership with Daimler Truck North America. These new services further enhance the convenience and reliability of Love’s Travel Stops for truckers around the world, providing them with even more high-quality options to keep their vehicles running smoothly.
Love’s Travel Stops is making a significant effort to improve its services and show its commitment to drivers and customers. The company is set to open fifteen new truck care locations, along with 75 maintenance bays, two additional tire retread centers, and expanded services at their fleet yards. But that’s not all! Love’s is also expanding its training opportunities by opening two new Truck Care Academies, bringing the total number of locations to four across the country. This move will ensure that Love’s technicians have access to all the resources they need to provide top-notch customer experience on every repair job. Shane Wharton, President of Love’s, has also hinted at expansion plans for other entities within the company, further underscoring Love’s commitment to growth and providing exceptional services to its customers.

This move will allow for more efficient vehicle services across the country. Additionally, Trillium Energy Solutions is supporting National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure plans in 2023 by leveraging its network of 80 EV charging stations across the country, both old and new.
All this growth is creating new job opportunities, with the company planning to add 2,000 jobs across the nation in 2023 alone. This move is a testament to the company’s commitment to growth and innovation and its desire to provide high-quality services to its customers.
