Love’s inaugurates new Travel Stops across three states
The retailer has expanded its footprint throughout Iowa, California, and Illinois, adding 231 truck parking spaces and 255 jobs in total.
Love’s Travel Stops has opened new locations to serve customers in Muscatine, Iowa; Patterson, California; and Normal, Illinois. All sites add 231 truck parking spaces and 255 jobs in total across the three communities.
Each outlet offers drivers the same amenities as the brand includes in most of its points of sale across the United States. These include diesel bays, showers, laundry facilities, CAT scales, dog parks, Speedco locations and Mobile to Go Zone.
“There’s no better time to open three locations in one day than in the month of December as professional drivers and four-wheel customers are on the highways during the holiday season. Whether it’s fresh food, snacks, coffee or just somewhere to stretch your legs, Love’s is excited to show customers Highway Hospitality in Muscatine, Patterson and Normal,” said Shane Wharton, president of Love’s.
Each Travel Stop also offers customers food offerings such as bean-to-cup gourmet coffee and brand-name snacks, with partnerships with fast food brands Chester’s Chicken and Godfather’s Pizza (Muscatine), Arby’s (Patterson), and Bojangles (Normal).
In honor of the grand openings, Love’s will donate $2,000 to non-profit organizations in each town, these being the Muscatine Center for Social Action, the Patterson Unified School District; and split the Normal donation for the McLean County School District and Bloomington Area Career Center.
Love’s Travel Stops’ network comprises 600 locations in 42 states, employing more than 38,000 people throughout the country. The retailer also has over 430 truck service centers, which include Speedco and Love’s Truck Care locations.
