Love’s opens new North Carolina, Texas locations

Aug 29, 2017

Love’s Travel Stops last week opened two new locations in North Carolina and Texas, adding more than 200 truck parking spaces to its network.

The North Carolina store, located in Newton, N.C., at U.S. Highway 321, exit 37, features a Hardee’s restaurant, five showers and 104 truck parking spaces.

The Texas location, situated off of I-10 at exit 843 in Beaumont, offers Arby’s, Chester’s Chicken and Godfather’s Pizza Express restaurants, seven showers and 115 truck parking spaces.

Both stores offer laundry facilities, Love’s Truck Tire Care centers and more. The new facilities also offer oil change and light mechanical services, which Love’s began introducing recently.
