Love’s Opens New Travel Stops in Montana and New Mexico

Expansion Adds 216 Truck Parking Spaces

Love’s has opened two new travel stops in Montana and New Mexico, expanding its network and adding more capacity for drivers across major freight routes. The expansion provides 216 truck parking spaces, along with fresh food, clean restrooms, and additional driver services.

The new locations are in Laurel, Montana, and Albuquerque, New Mexico. Both sites are positioned along key highways that connect regional and national freight lanes.

The Laurel location also includes four RV hookups, additional RV parking, and a dump station. These additions support both commercial drivers and other travelers on the road.

The Love’s travel stop in Laurel is located at 415 19th Ave. W (Interstate 90, Exit 432). The site serves drivers traveling through southern Montana and the greater Billings area.

This location spans 21,532 square feet and adds 65 jobs to the local community.

The Albuquerque location is at 3200 Broadway Blvd. SE, near the intersection of Interstates 25 and 40.

This area is one of the Southwest’s most important transportation hubs. It connects freight moving between the West Coast, the Midwest, and the southern United States.

The location measures 10,457 square feet and adds 70 jobs locally.

Love’s Amenities and Rewards Program

Both locations offer services designed for drivers on long hauls. These include fresh food prepared on-site daily, clean restrooms, showers, and fueling options.

Drivers can also use the Love’s Rewards program, which allows customers to save on fuel, diesel, and food while earning points. The Love’s Rewards App helps users find locations, unlock offers, and manage rewards more easily.

In addition, both sites have space allocated for future electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, allowing Love’s to partner with local utilities if demand increases.

Love’s Expansion Supports Local Communities

Each new location brings jobs and community investment. The Laurel site adds 65 jobs, while the Albuquerque location adds 70 jobs.

As part of the grand openings, Love’s also announced donations in both communities:

• Laurel, Montana:
  
  • $5,000 to Community Hope of Laurel
  • $5,000 to Shodair Children’s Hospital
• Albuquerque, New Mexico:
  
  • $5,000 split between Lowell Elementary School and East San Jose Elementary School
  • $5,000 to UNM Children’s Hospital

These donations are part of Love’s ongoing efforts to support local organizations in the areas where new stores open.

What This Expansion Means for Drivers

The addition of two new travel stops provides more parking and services along important freight routes.

With parking shortages still affecting many drivers, the extra capacity can help reduce time spent searching for safe parking. At the same time, the placement of the Albuquerque location at a major highway junction highlights the continued focus on high-traffic freight corridors.

As Love’s continues to expand, new locations like these remain an important part of supporting drivers across the U.S. trucking network.
