Love’s noted that truck parking remains free for its customers. The company also reported that it has added 1,076 truck parking spaces nationwide so far in 2026 as part of its ongoing expansion efforts.

Company Continues Store Improvement Projects

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.

The renovations are part of the company’s Road Ahead Plan, which focuses on updating existing travel stops while expanding its nationwide network.

Grand Opening Includes Community Donations

To mark the opening of the Rock Falls travel stop, Love’s announced donations of $5,000 to the Sauk Valley Foodbank and $5,000 to Stead Family Children’s Hospital.
