Love’s Travel Stops has opened a new facility in Knoxville, Ill., along Interstate 74. It is the company's 14th location in the state.
The Knoxville travel stop brings 94 truck-parking spots to the area and offers Love’s Truck Tire Care center as well as other services and amenities for drivers. The company also features seven showers and a Subway and a Chester’s Chicken restaurant.
Love’s also operates other locations along Interstate 74, including stores in St. Paul, Ind., Pittsboro, Ind., and Le Roy, Ill.
“With the opening of the Knoxville store, Love’s Travel Stops now has four locations spanning 300 miles along Interstate 74,” said Greg Love, co-CEO of Love’s. “We remain committed to providing more locations for professional drivers to park and access services and opening another site along a well-traveled interstate is a welcome relief for our Customers that we’re happy to provide.”
