Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores recently opened its second tire care and lube center this year. The company plans to add 50 such locations to its network of more than 220 travel stops this year.
The new location was added to the eight-year-old Love’s Travel Stop in St. Joseph, Mo. It offers lube services, oil changes, tire sales and minor repairs.
