Love’s Travel Stops is investing more than $1 billion over the next five years to update 200 locations across the United States.
The company said the convenience store chains locations being remodeled will remain open and when completed each location will have a modern look and feature a more open concept. Locations will be equipped with open-kitchen concepts, multiple restaurant options and updated Love’s Truck Care and Speedco locations. Dog parks will also be added to various locations as well.
“Investing in existing locations is another way Love’s prioritizes creating a first-class experience for customers,” said Randy Swain, director of construction and remodels for Love’s. “Being strategic with how we update existing locations – and keeping them open during the process – strengthens Love’s commitment to getting customers back on the road quickly.”
Love’s locations that will be updated will be based on foot traffic, sales, and store age. Locations in El Paso and Columbia, Tenn. will be among the first to remodel while Love’s locations in Oklahoma City and Gary, Ind., have already been remodeled earlier this year.
Love’s Travel Stops is also planning 25 new locations this year.
