“What Tom Love started in 1964 has evolved into more than a store that offers gas, and we’ll continue to push the envelope with the addition of new services, amenities and partnerships,” said Shane Wharton, president of Love’s. “Being innovative and strategic with what we do adds reasons for customers to choose us and we’ll continue to find new ways to offer good value at competitive prices across the Love’s Family of Companies.” 

Upgrades to existing locations will range from bathroom updates to complete overhauls. All stores will remain open during renovations, the company said.

It also plans to expand its Love’s-branded snack and food product lines, and will add 30 new restaurants.

  • Love’s are my best truck stop to go since the ’90s a good clean area and always has plenty of room for parking.
    I have had my Love’s Rewards card since and use it every time I am in the USA.

  • Congratulations Mr. love you are doing a great job. Wish you would be able to truckstops in Canada. We did more truckstops in Canada especially one in Brandon Manitoba. Thank you.

  • When will Loves follow suit and expand north into Canada as Pilot/Flying J, and TA have done. This would be an asset to drivers, and companies that can only fuel at Loves Travel Centers when in the US.
