Love’s Travel Stops has expanded its Florida network with the opening of a new travel stop in Gretna, adding 121 truck parking spaces along Interstate 10.
The new location is situated at 265 Opportunity Way near Exit 174 and fills a gap between existing Love’s travel stops in Cottondale and Lee. The site is designed to serve professional drivers, RV travelers, and motorists moving through the Florida Panhandle.
According to Love’s, the additional parking and fueling capacity support freight movement along a heavily traveled transportation corridor while providing drivers with access to amenities and services on the route.

The Gretna location features 121 truck parking spaces and eight diesel bays.
Additional amenities include:
- Six showers
- Laundry facilities
- CAT Scale
- Dog park
- Self-checkout option

An Arby’s and a Dunkin’ are also scheduled to open at the location on June 15.
Grand Opening Includes Community Donations
As part of the grand opening, Love’s announced donations to several organizations.
Gretna Elementary School and West Gadsden Middle School will each receive $2,500. The company also announced a $5,000 donation to Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital.
Site Includes Space for Future EV Chargers
The new travel stop includes space designated for future electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
According to Love’s, the company can work with local utility providers to install charging stations if customer demand develops in the future.
