Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores, Inc.

Overview:

At Love's, we're passionate about providing friendly service and clean, modern facilities stocked with the fuel, food, and supplies drivers need to keep them going. We were founded on this idea in 1964, and it remains our guiding principle more than 40 years later: "Clean Places, Friendly Faces".Today, Love's operates two main types of facilities. Love's Country Stores are fueling stations with an attached convenience store. The larger Love's Travel Stops are located on interstate highways and offer additional amenities such as food from national restaurant chains like Subway, Arby's, and Carl's Jr., as well as trucking supplies, showers, and RV dump stations. Love's has been at the forefront of the convenience store and travel center industry for more than three decades. We were among the first to combine self-service gasoline with grocery items, offer fresh deli sandwiches, add quick-service restaurants, and sell gift and novelty items. Today, we continue that spirit of innovation by adding Truck Tire Care centers and roadside assistance to our Travel Stops.
