Truck drivers closing out the year with tight parking options are seeing some relief. Love’s Travel Stops has opened two new travel stops, one in Eloy, Arizona, and another in Milan Township, Ohio, marking the company’s final store openings of 2025.
With these additions, Love’s finishes the year having opened 18 new locations nationwide and added 1,408 truck parking spaces to its network, continuing its push to expand parking capacity along major freight corridors.
New Locations Along Busy Freight Routes
The Eloy travel stop becomes Love’s 18th location in Arizona and sits just off Interstate 10, a heavily traveled east west corridor for long haul freight. The Milan Township store is Love’s 28th location in Ohio, located off Interstate 90 between Toledo and Cleveland near Lake Erie.
Both locations were built with professional drivers in mind, offering expanded parking, food options, and driver focused amenities.
