Love’s Travel Stops & Country Stores, a national operator of travel centers and convenience stores based in Oklahoma City, announced planned capital expenditures of $230 million for calendar year 2011, with $180 million to be spent on new construction.
Twenty new travel stop locations will open this year, from Napavine, Wash., to Emerson, Ga. In addition, more than $50 million will go towards enhancements at existing Love’s Travel Stop locations. Slated improvements include adding 50 Love’s Truck Tire Care centers to current locations, parking lot expansions, re-imaging of restaurants and remodeling restrooms.
“Love’s is committed to providing the best possible facilities and services that matter to the driving public,” says Tom Love, chairman and CEO. “We have listened to customer feedback when designing these improvements, which will make our travel stops more appealing and convenient.”
