Love’s Travel Stops opens locations in Florida, Texas and Indiana
397 truck parking spaces, 365 jobs added across the country; reopening of Gary location
Love’s Travel Stops is now serving customers in Jacksonville, Florida; New Boston, Texas; and Lafayette, Indiana, thanks to three new travel stops that opened recently. The Jacksonville location adds 80 jobs and 93 truck parking spaces to Duval County. The New Boston location adds 100 jobs and 86 truck parking spaces to Bowie County. The Lafayette location adds 95 jobs and 64 truck parking spaces to Tippecanoe County.
The company is also serving customers once again at its Gary, Indiana, location that was closed last year after a fire. The store was demolished and rebuilt to include more square footage, parking spaces and updated amenities including the third Naf Naf Middle Eastern Grill at a Love’s location. It also adds 90 jobs and 154 truck parking spaces to Lake County.
“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.”
The locations are open 24/7 and offer bean-to-cup gourmet coffee, brand-name snacks, Love’s Mobile to Go Zone with today’s latest technologies and a dog park. The locations also include:
