According to the Love’s Press Releases, the new Texas truck stop is located at Interstate 10 and Smith Road at exit 843, just west of Beaumont. The Beaumont location houses “quick service restaurants” such as Arby’s Chester’s Chicken, and Godfather’s Pizza Express, as well as a convenience store featuring fresh fruits and vegetables, gourmet coffee, along with other snacks and fountain drinks.

The new Beaumont location also has showers, public laundry, a game room, a Love’s Truck Tire Care center, and 115 truck parking spaces.

“Beaumont is a strong community experiencing growth and it’s in a great location along Interstate 10,” said founder and executive chairman Tom Love.

“We look forward to serving residents commuting to Beaumont, and motorists and professional drivers traveling to and from Houston.”

The 14,000 square foot rest stop has brought 70 jobs to the local area, and in celebration, Love’s plans to donate $2,000 to Hamshire-Fannet Elementary, a local school.

The new North Carolina Love’s Truck stop is located in Newton, North Carolina off of US Highway 321 on Exit 37. The new Newton rest stop will house a Hardee’s restaurant and the convenience store will feature gourmet coffee and fresh fruit and other snacks and fountain drinks.

The rest stop will also offer 104 truck parking spots, shower and laundry facilities and a Love’s Truck Tire Care center.

“We’re glad to join the growing community of Newton,” said Love.

“Newton and Hickory are strong communities that will sustain us with regular business and quality employees. U.S. Highway 321 is a major highway that allows us to serve people driving to and from Charlotte. We look forward to providing the ‘Clean Places, Friendly Faces’ Love’s is known for to a new area of North Carolina,” Love added.

In celebration of the Newton opening and the 60 new jobs it has brought to the community, Love’s will donate $2,000 to the local Foothills Folk Art Festival.

Both of the new locations will be open 24 hours, 7 days a week.
