Love’s Travel Stops has opened a new travel stop in Boyce, Louisiana, the ninth location in the state, the company announced.
The location offers truck drivers 55 truck parking spots, five showers, laundry capabilities and a Love’s Truck Tire Care center. The more than 10,000-square-foot facility is open 24/7 and features an Arby’s restaurant. The store also offers brand-name snacks, coffee, soft drinks, electronics, fresh-to-go options and more.
The store is located at 7046 Highway 1 (Interstate 49, Exit 94) and will bring approximately 50 new jobs to Rapides Parish, according to Love’s.
“Love’s is happy to bring another location to the state of Louisiana,” said Tom Love, founder and executive chairman of Love’s. “Boyce is a great location halfway between Interstates 10 and 20 just north of Alexandria, Louisiana.”
