Love’s is celebrating more strategic growth of its network in the Great Plains and Southeast with the opening of new travel stops in Wichita, Kan., and Hattiesburg, Miss.
With the addition of these locations, Love’s says it surpasses the milestone of 650 stores during its 60th anniversary year.
The Wichita travel stop, located off Interstate 135 at 1504 E. 21st St., is one of Love’s largest stores to date and helps meet a big need for truck parking and other pro driver services in the Wichita metro area, the company says. This location adds 122 truck parking spaces, nine diesel service bays and a Speedco truck maintenance shop with truck wash services and a CAT scale, set to open next month.
The Hattiesburg travel stop off Interstate 59 and Highway 98 at 283 Ira Hudson Rd. adds 84 truck parking spaces, and like the Wichita location, adds pro driver services to an area previously without a national travel stop presence. Located along a major travel corridor to the Gulf Coast and near recreational attractions such as De Soto National Forest, the company says this store is a strategic addition for Love’s growing RV network, with six RV hookups, RV dump service, eight diesel bays, a CAT scale and more.
