On Thursday, Love’s Travel Stops announced the opening of three new stores and the reopening of a fourth closed store, adding nearly 400 truck parking spaces to the company’s network.
The new truck stops are located in Jacksonville, Florida, New Boston, Texas, and Lafayette, Indiana.
In addition to these openings, Love’s said that they have reopened the store in Gary, Indiana, after it was closed due to a fire last year. Love’s demolished and rebuilt the Gary store with more square footage, parking spaces and updated amenities including a Naf Naf Middle Eastern Grill. The Gary store now has 154 truck parking spaces.
“As we move into 2023, Love’s continues to be focused on providing customers with the amenities and customer service they expect when they stop at one of our locations,” said Shane Wharton, president of Love’s. “Reopening the Gary location and adding new stores in Jacksonville, New Boston and Lafayette strengthens our commitment to providing additional safe, clean and well-maintained locations and getting customers back on the road quickly.”
