Almost every one of the Mega Travel Centers have tried to purchase land and apply to the counties in the central Florida area for building a travel center and either the land is too expensive or the locals have fought them tooth and nail. They do not want anything resembling a truck stop in their communities.

There's a Love's being built across from the TA's and Pilot in Baldwin, FL some are still popping up here and there..

All the doggone time when heading to the PNW and back. Its about 104 miles from Belle Fourche to Broadus, and i think 106 from Broadus to I-90. If I know I can make Broadus coming from either direction, I run it; else I camp out at the Loves in Hardin (where I've never not been able to find a spot) or at one of the stops in Belle Fourche if I don't feel like trying the little grocery store/deli in Alzada (barely 4 miles across the WY state line). And yes, definely scenic. And definitely no cell service from Broadus to Crow Agency.

I really wish Love's would tear down the existing building in Sioux Falls and build a new one. The parking lot there is in the worst condition of any Love's in the country.

There's plenty of land westward to build on which could include a shop.

With a 150+ space parking lot, new building, a shop, and the existing Blue Beacon already in place, this new Love's would be the premier truck stop of the midwest save for Iowa 80 and Petro in Joplin, Missouri.

BRO...I'm trying to tell ya! And naturally, living there and my terminal being right around the corner, I'm in there more than I need to. We done already had men land on the moon decades ago; I don't need to feel like doing it every time I pull up in that joint!

Union city, CA needs one. The closest place is 30 miles away.

Never happen. Land is too expensive. Zoning regs are stupid and taxes are crazy. They'd have to spend millions before they turned the first shovel of dirt.

I noticed two new ones getting ready to open, one at x292 on I-94 in ND, and another one somewhere on the I-80 in NV, I think a little west of Winnemucca IIRC.

Same thing with the Love's in Luling, TX on I-10 exit 632.

Whoever designed that place was a freakin' idiot.

And I thought the Mustard Seed in Washington was the most expensive at $27.50! Sheesh, $30? They'll drive everyone away!

Trexler in Allentown is a joke, the minute they started charging for parking I started looking west of the Lehigh Valley region. Plus all the locals would park their trucks and personal vehicles there.
