Love's Expands Services as It Reaches Network Milestone
OKLAHOMA CITY — Love's Travel Stops now counts 600 locations in its network as it pushes its growth agenda further.
The travel center operator threw open the doors on its 600th travel stop in mid-October. The Love's Travel Stop is in Perry, Okla., and adds 60 truck parking spaces and 70 jobs to Noble County.
"As Love's opens its 600th location in the U.S., and 81st in its home state of Oklahoma, the company remains committed to being the best and most comprehensive travel stop on the highway and adding new amenities and services to get customers back on the road quickly and safely," said Shane Wharton, president of Love's.
"When you walk into a Love's, you’ll see the same clean places, friendly faces that you've seen for the past 58 years, and that's Love's promise to customers," Wharton added .
Opening new locations is not the only item on Love's to-do list. The company is adding RV hookups to locations. Water, electric and sewer hookups as well as Wi-Fi are available at 21 existing Love’s locations across the country.
The company also recently opened its first RV park in Cordele, Ga. The Cordele location offers full hookups, fire pits, pickle ball courts, a splash pad, laundry and more.
In addition to RV hookups, Love's joined Amazon's package pickup network to provide its customers with access to Amazon Lockers at more than 50 locations. These alternate pickup locations offer customers convenience, flexibility and the security of knowing when and where their package will be waiting for them, the company noted.
Customers making a purchase on Amazon will have the option to choose the Love's location nearest them, if applicable.
