Love’s expands in Ohio with new Travel Stop

Located in St. Clairsville, the site adds 121 truck parking spaces, 120 new jobs, and a wide array of amenities tailored to the needs of long-haul drivers and motorists.

Love’s Travel Stops has expanded its national network with the opening of a new location in southeastern Ohio, providing enhanced services for professional drivers, travelers, and RVers.

The St. Clairsville travel stop adds 121 truck parking spaces, 120 new jobs, and a wide array of amenities tailored to the needs of long-haul drivers and motorists. This new store is the chain’s fourth location to open in 2025, and offers laundry, showers, a CAT Scale, nine diesel bays, and Love’s Fresh Kitchen with freshly prepared meals. 

The site also features Godfather’s Pizza and Hardee’s, reinforcing the Love’s status as one of the nation’s leading foodservice operators.

For RV travelers, the location offers four RV parking spaces, full hookups, Wi-Fi, and a dump station, making it a convenient stop for those journeying through Ohio. Pet owners will appreciate the on-site dog park.

It also debuts a new Speedco facility, part of the nation’s largest over-the-road truck maintenance network, offering essential vehicle services for commercial drivers.

Looking ahead, the St. Clairsville store has been designed with space allocated for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, allowing for quick implementation in partnership with local utilities should customer demand arise.

To celebrate the opening, Love’s will donate $2,500 to the Union Local School District and $2,500 to the Belmont Volunteer Fire Department, reinforcing its commitment to supporting the communities it serves.
