Love's Inks Supply Pact With Interstate Batteries

OKLAHOMA CITY — Love's Travel Stops and Interstate Batteries entered into a supply agreement that will offer Interstate-branded batteries exclusively to customers of Love's out of the big three over-the-road travel stops for the next five years.

"We're excited to announce that customers will be able to purchase the number one replacement battery brand for commercial and heavy-duty trucks in the U.S. exclusively at Love's," said Gary Price, executive vice president of total truck care solutions for Love's. "It furthers our commitment of being the number one stop for professional drivers for fuel, maintenance services, amenities and products that get them back on the road quickly."

Interstate-branded batteries are currently available at more than 430 Love's Truck Care and Speedco locations. The lineup includes Group 31 AGM, Deep Cycle and Starting batteries.
