Im assuming you haven’t been doing this for long, if so you would realize that older Loves are just as bad as any Pilot in terms of cleanliness and maintenance. They’re just masking it by having more newer locations currently. But Loves does top the chart in one thing; the number of locations that are a total cluster regardless of time of day. Sure the parking here and there is helpful but they’re never big enough to really help the problem. They buy a 100 acre parcel, only build on maybe half that then plop for sale signs on the rest for years to come

Not for long just since 1969. Pilots are the worse and I won't go there at all. I prefer Mom and Pop or Petro for sit down restaurants.

This discussion is for Loves Truck Stops only. Loves is my favorite place to fuel and get showers. They are building an incredible amount of stores all over the country and the new ones are absolutely top of the line in quality. Some of the Loves are even building stops with the big parking lots, similar to the TA's or Petro's.

So my question for my fellow drivers is, what places would you like to see some new Loves Truck Stops be built?

For this thread, I think we don't need to include anywhere north of PA, as the answer to where would you like to see some new Loves Truck Stops be built more north past PA is "everywhere", lol.

Here is my list and keep in mind when I say "area", I mean within 15-20 minutes of the city/town that I list

1. Greenville, SC area
2. Asheville, NC area (wishful thinking)
3. St. Cloud, MN area or at least somewhere in between Fargo and Minneapolis on I-94
4. Mankato, MN area
5. Eau Claire, WI - Yeah they have the one in Menomonie, but I think the city of Eau Claire could EASILY support another Love's there

What's your list? Where would you like to see some new Loves be built?

ALSO ON A SIDE NOTE - WE ARE GETTING A NEW LOVES IN ROCK SPRINGS, WYOMING!!! I drove by there within the last month it's looking like it should be ready to go around the start of 2021!

I'm sorry if I sabotaged your original post. I didn't mean for it to go astray.

Loves is smart...they buy ALL the property close by their new location and then not sell any of it to Pilot etc so no competition.

MN is a problem, only 1 near Albert Lea, and other outlets are more competitive. Kwik Trip and others.

Mail trip is much nicer than loves, at least they have fresh produce, and such , loves only has fast food garbage and over priced fruit

Not to mention they don’t clean showers worth a ####, they do the old swipe and wipe with previous persons towels.
Loves is smart though they get drivers suckered in with points and hose carriers with over priced, oil and other fluids. They offer big discounts. However I prefer the mom and pop stops. No 45 min waits while drivers take showers while on fuel island. Loves is the Wal mart of travel centers. Along with nothing but #### food offered. Anything healthy is so over priced it’s ridiculous.
