Love’s opens new truck stop off Interstate 49

Love’s Travel Stops has just opened their 12th location in Arkansas.

The new travel center, which has 55 truck parking spaces, is located at 8060 State Route 282, off Interstate 49 (Exit 24), in Alma.

The location has a 24-hour store, a Love’s Truck Tire Care center, 55 truck parking spaces, three showers, laundry, and a Chester’s Chicken restaurant.

“We’re committed to growing in areas of need. Interstate 49 between Fayetteville, Arkansas, and Fort Smith, Arkansas, is a heavily traveled freight route with limited services for professional drivers,” Love’s co-CEO, Greg Love’s said.

The new opening is part of Love’s strategy to open more than 40 new locations in 2018, and add more than 3,000 truck parking spaces throughout the country.
