Love’s Travel Stops is expanding its footprint in Florida, with the opening of a new travel stop in Gretna, located at 265 Opportunity Way (Interstate 10, exit 174). The company also announced it has completed updates to two existing stores.
The new travel stop has 121 truck parking spaces and provides free parking for Love’s customers.
Located between existing travel stops in Cottondale and Lee, the new location in Gretna provides a stop for professional drivers, RVers and motorists navigating Interstate 10 in the Florida Panhandle.
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, Love's said in a statement.
Gretna amenities and services include:
- Love's fresh food
- Arby's (opening June 15)
- Dunkin' (opening June 15)
- Eight diesel bays
- Six showers
- Laundry facilities
- CAT Scale
- Dog park
- Self-checkout option
In honor of the grand opening in Gretna, Love’s will donate $2,500 each to Gretna Elementary School and West Gadsden Middle School. The company will also donate $5,000 to Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital.
As a new Love’s location, the Gretna 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.
Under Love’s Road Ahead Plan, the company recently celebrated the grand reopenings of its country store in Elk City, Oklahoma, and its travel stop in Roscoe, Illinois.
Guests can now experience updated environments designed to improve traffic flow and elevate the overall shopping experience. Both locations feature fully renovated and modernized restrooms and remodeled sales floors. So far in 2026, Love’s has completed updates to 18 locations and opened 10 new stores.
In honor of the grand reopenings, Love’s will donate $5,000 to the Oklahoma Health Foundation and $5,000 to the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago.
