Historic Hotel Opening
Love’s made a bit of corporate history recently when it opened a Sleep Inn hotel near its store in Jasper, Alabama. What makes it historic is that Love’s will operate it instead of having an outside company manage the property.
Love’s now has five hotels near travel stop stores.
“Opening and operating this hotel internally is a big step forward for Love’s hospitality,” said Thomas Love, hotel operations specialist.
