    I parked at the Flying J at Millersport, OH the other night just west of Columbus. While that Flying J is actually good by Flying J standards, I have to say it's pretty depressing when you know there's a brand new Love's under 1 year old just 4 miles east in Etna, OH. I like to shower right before bed as the last thing I do for the day, so I usually park at Pilot Flying J at night time. If showers at the end of the night weren't so important to me I'de probably be parking at all these new Love's.

    But yeah I agree the more truck stops the better. God knows Pilot Flying J and TA Petro aren't going to fill in the gap and build new truck stops anywhere, so it's nice to see at least one of the big 3 chains doing so across the nation.

    New Love's midway through construction in (or right next to) Moses Lake, Washington on I-90 in between Spokane and Seattle (or more specifically in between Spokane and Ellensburg). Passed by it yesterday. Has a Taco Johns sign already up. Not sure if there will be a Subway or not, they might just not have that sign up yet. It looks like it should be done before the 4th of July, easily. That should be a big help. Hopefully they'll continue to build more closer to Seattle, God knows that area needs it bad.

    Don'y hold your breath. It's hard if not impossible anymore to build a new truckstop anywhere near Seattle. The NIMBY crowd fights every attempt. The TA in North Bend has been trying to expand for a long time but the city just won't allow it. They would love to find a way to close them down. Permantly.

    Did they tear this location down and build a new one after the flood a couple years ago or gut it and refurbish it?

    There’s a new Loves open in Dalhart TX on the north end of town.

    And about WA, there probably won’t ever be any new truck stops built west of Moses Lake. Nobody will ever be able to get the land and permits to get it done.

    A Pilot opened in Arlington within the last five years and a Flying J just opened in Tumwater not too long ago. So, it's not impossible.

    As per my OP and the thread's OP:

    Ask and you shall receive.

    I was driving from Minneapolis up towards the Fargo area on I-94 a few days ago and as I passed by St Cloud, saw the Love's building with a Hardee's sign on it on the other side of the interstate. I'de guess it should be done by the 4th of July. This will be a much needed stop for drivers in between Fargo and Minneapolis. Great addition by Love's in my opinion.

    New one being built in Cameron MO one exit south of Hwy 36. Looks like it will be a fairly large one, the shop building is about twice the size of their normal ones.
