Love’s Marks Store Openings, Renovations in Six States

Love’s has announced a series of moves aimed at building out its store network across key U.S. markets. Most recently, the chain announced the opening of its newest location in Florida, located in Gretna. The new travel stop has 121 truck parking spaces and provides free parking for Love’s customers, “helping to address the national truck parking shortage,” Love’s noted in a statement.

So far in 2026, Love’s has added 991 truck parking spaces across the country.

Located between existing travel stops in Cottondale and Lee, the new location in Gretna supports the regional and national supply chain by adding essential truck parking and fueling capacity along a heavy freight corridor.

As a new Love’s location, the Gretna travel stop has space allocated for EV chargers, allowing Love’s to quickly partner with local utility companies to install charging stations should customer demand arise.

In honor of the grand opening in Gretna, Love’s will donate $2,500 each to Gretna Elementary School and West Gadsden Middle School. The company will also donate $5,000 to Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital. Additionally, Love’s district managers work with eligible nonprofits in their area to make donations through community grants on an annual basis.

Additionally, under Love’s Road Ahead Plan, the company recently celebrated the grand reopenings of its country store in Elk City, Okla., and its travel stop in Roscoe, Ill. Guests can now experience updated environments designed to improve traffic flow and elevate the overall shopping experience. Both locations feature fully renovated and modernized restrooms and remodeled sales floors. So far in 2026, Love’s has completed updates to 18 locations and opened 10 new stores.

The chain is also growing in New Mexico — in late May, Love’s announced the opening of a new travel stop in Truth or Consequences, N.M.

In honor of the grand opening in Truth or Consequences, Love’s donated $5,000 to Hot Springs High School and $5,000 to the University of New Mexico Children’s Hospital.

Love’s also recently celebrated the grand reopenings of its travel stops in Marion, Ind., and Encinal, Texas, under the Road Ahead Plan. Updates to the Marion location include 74 new truck parking spaces for a new total of 221 parking spaces; a remodeled sales floor, restrooms and showers; and an overall updated look and feel. The Encinal location received updates including a remodeled sales floor, restrooms and showers. The location’s Subway was also remodeled.
