Love’s is looking to continue their blistering growth after a year of record store openings.
In 2016, Love’s Travel Stops opened 47 brand new locations and created more than 3,200 new truck-parking spaces, setting a company single-year record. In 2017, the company is expected to top those numbers with 50 new locations and 3,400 new truck-parking spaces, according to a recent press release.
In addition, Love’s will also expand services and locations of their Truck Tire Care centers.
“We’re always listening to our customers to see what needs we can meet,” said Frank Love, co-CEO of Love’s. “Since 2008, Love’s Truck Tire Care has been taking care of our customers’ tire needs and we’ve consistently heard more tire and maintenance offerings would benefit drivers. We’ve added light mechanical services, and we introduced oil change capabilities in 2016. Providing our customers with these services helps keep them on the road.”
Two new 2017 locations have already opened. The first, located in Syracuse, Nebraska (between State Route 50 and State Route 2) opened with 68 truck-parking spaces. The second opened in Angleton, Texas (between State Route 288 and FM 523) with 83 truck-parking spaces.
