Love’s Adds ‘Mini-Electronics Store’ to Select Locations

OKLAHOMA CITY — This holiday season, Love’s Travel Stops & Country Stores customers will find an increased selection of electronics and mobile accessories at more than 40 stores nationwide.

With new Mobile To-Go Zones designed by DAS Companies Inc., the travel center operator has dedicated space to resemble a mini-electronics store that offers an expanded selection of mobile accessories, including phone chargers, earbuds and Bluetooth accessories, and the latest in electronics, like navigation systems and small televisions.

“Whether it’s a professional driver traveling cross-country or a mom taking her kids to and from school, our customers are always moving,” said Jon Archard, vice president of sales for Love’s. “We’ve had a wide variety of toys and gifts for years to make holiday shopping convenient. We can meet the increasing needs of our customers by offering small electronics and mobile accessories.”

Many new Love’s locations will feature Mobile To-Go Zones, and several existing locations are being retrofitted with them.

“All Love’s locations offer mobile accessories and electronics,” Archard added. “Mobile To-Go Zones give us more capacity to offer a wider variety of options in those stores.”

A few of Love’s electronic/mobile accessory hot sellers so far this year include:

• 5.8 GHz FPV Quadcopter (drone)
• Garmin Vivofit Activity Tracker
• TND Tablet/GPS
• Jam Trance Mini Wireless portable speaker
• LG Tone Infinim Premium Wireless Bluetooth Headset
• Earbuds and headphones (vast selection of styles)

Oklahoma City-based Love's has more than 350 locations in 40 states. It was named the 2015 Convenience Store News Store Design Contest winner for Best Low-Cost Remodel for its Mobile To-Go Zones.
