Love’s Travel Stops opens two locations
OKLAHOMA CITY — Drivers in the Sunshine State and the Natural State have new options for dining and parking when they're on the road. Love's Travel Stops opened for business today in Hawthorne, Florida, along U.S. Highway 301 and State Road 20, and in Blytheville, Arkansas, along Interstate 55 and U.S Highway 61.
"The opening of these two travel stops adds more than 160 truck-parking spaces along busy highways and interstates where parking demands are high," said Greg Love, co-CEO of Love's. "We're also happy to bring more dining options to drivers with the opening of our second IHOP Express restaurant, this time in Blytheville, Arkansas."
IHOP Express is a convenient way for guests to enjoy IHOP signature food and beverages, even when visiting a local IHOP restaurant isn't an option. In addition to breakfast served all day — like original buttermilk pancakes, hickory-smoked bacon and International House Roast Coffee — guests can also choose from delicious lunch and dinner menu items.
The Blytheville travel stop and IHOP Express will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. IHOP Express guests order food from the convenience of a service counter with food delivered by a team member to the dining area.
The Blytheville location also features Chester's Chicken and Godfather's Pizza restaurants, 94 truck-parking spaces, seven showers and a Love's Truck Tire Care facility. The Hawthorne travel stop offers five showers, 71 truck-parking spaces and a McDonald's restaurant. Both locations offer fresh fruit, gourmet coffee, electronics, gift items, RFID cardless fueling, CAT scales and other driver services.
