Love’s Travel Stops has expanded its Illinois network with the opening of a new location in Rock Falls, adding 85 truck parking spaces along the Interstate 88 corridor. The new facility is designed to provide additional parking, fueling, and driver amenities on a heavily traveled freight route in northern Illinois.

The company said the new location strengthens truck parking availability while supporting freight movement through the region.

Along with opening the Rock Falls location, Love’s recently completed remodels at its Southeast Oklahoma City travel stop and four Kansas Turnpike locations in Belle Plaine, El Dorado (Towanda), Cassoday (Matfield Green), and Topeka.
