Love's Travel Stops is expanding its network with the addition of a new travel stop in West Jefferson, Ohio, which will create 85 new jobs. This location provides amenities for professional drivers and four-wheel customers traveling on Interstate 70, as well as local community members.
The travel stop is between Love’s Springfield and Groveport travel stops. This store includes a Love’s Fresh Kitchen concept with fresh food items such as sandwiches, salads and fresh fruit prepared in-store daily and a Hardee’s. Love’s is one of the largest food service operators in the country.
As a new Love’s, each store also has space for EV chargers allocated to be able to quickly partner with local utility companies and install EV charging stations should there be customer demand.
In honor of the grand opening, Love’s will donate $5,000 to Jefferson Local Schools and $5,000 to Nationwide Children’s Hospital. In addition, Love’s district managers work with eligible nonprofits in their area to make donations through community grants on an annual basis.
