    OKLAHOMA CITY (Sept. 16, 2014) — Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores L.L.C. has expanded its network of Love's Truck Tire Care locations to 200 with the opening of five truck stops in recent weeks.

    Since the first truck tire care site opened in 2008, Love's Truck Tire Care has served more than 1.3 million drivers, according to Oklahoma City-based Love's.

    “We're committed to providing solutions, and we'll evolve as needed so we can meet the needs of more customers,” said Dan Jensen, director of tire sales and service for the chain.

    “Our locations offering light mechanical services have nearly doubled over the past six months. With these additional offerings in more areas, drivers will continue to receive expedited service from well-trained professionals.”

    Love's offers eight new tire brands — Aeolus, BFGoodrich, Bridgestone, Continental, Firestone, Goodyear, Michelin and Yokohama — along with retreads from the Michelin Retread Technologies network.

    Earlier this year, Love's added Continental- and Goodyear-brand tires to its lineup to provide drivers with a more versatile selection, the company said.

    Love's also now offers light mechanical services including electrical repairs, belts and hoses, fleet and DOT inspections, brake repairs, etc., at more than 130 locations—nearly double the number from just seven months ago.

    The recent travel stop openings with Truck Tire Care services were in Mossy Head, Fla. (Exit 70 on I-10); Fort Stockton, Texas (Exit 261 on I-10); Franklin, Va. (at U.S. Highways 58 and 258); Angola, Ind. (Exit 348 on I-69) and Indianola, Miss. (at U.S. Highways 82 and 49).

    With more than 320 locations and 200 Love's Truck Tire Care centers in 39 states, Love's is opening outlets at about 20 stores per year. Love's is ranked No. 9 on Forbes Magazine's annual listing of America's largest private companies.
