Love’s expands with Illinois opening; renovates Oklahoma and Kansas locations

OKLAHOMA CITY, June 12, 2026 – Love’s Travel Stops is expanding its footprint in Illinois, with the opening of a new travel stop in Rock Falls located at 2801 Hoover Road (Interstate 88 and State Route 40). The new travel stop has 85 truck parking spaces and provides free parking for Love’s customers, helping to address the national truck parking shortage. So far in 2026, Love’s has added 1,076 truck parking spaces across the country.

Located between Love’s Rochelle, Illinois, location and the Iowa state border, the new location in Rock Falls provides a much-needed stop for professional drivers, RVers and motorists navigating Interstate 88 and State Route 40 in northern Illinois. This expansion directly supports the regional and national supply chain by adding essential truck parking and fueling capacity along a heavy freight corridor where reliable, clean amenities are vital for driver safety and transport efficiency.

As a new Love’s location, the Rock Falls travel stop has space allocated for EV chargers, allowing Love’s to quickly partner with local utility companies to install charging stations should customer demand arise.

In honor of the grand opening in Rock Falls, Love’s will donate $5,000 to the Sauk Valley Foodbank and $5,000 to Stead Family Children’s Hospital. Additionally, Love’s district managers work with eligible nonprofits in their area to make donations through community grants on an annual basis.

Modernizing stores in Oklahoma and Kansas

Under Love’s Road Ahead Plan, the company recently celebrated the remodels of its store in Southeast Oklahoma City, and four locations on the Kansas Turnpike including locations in Belle Plaine, El Dorado (Towanda), Cassoday (Matfield Green), and Topeka. Guests can now experience updated environments designed to improve traffic flow and elevate the overall shopping experience.
