Love’s opens new travel stop in Ohio

New location adds parking, fresh food options, and local community support.

Love’s Travel Stops has strengthened its presence in Ohio with the opening of a new travel stop in West Jefferson, strategically located at 540 Timmons Way along Interstate 70. 

The new site is positioned between the company’s existing Springfield and Groveport locations, ensuring additional convenience for professional drivers, everyday travelers, and the local community. The 1.250 m2 travel stop offers a range of services, including 80 truck parking spaces, six bobtail spaces, eight diesel bays, five showers, a CAT Scale, and a dog park. 

Reflecting the company’s focus on the evolving needs of travelers, the new store has dedicated space to install electric vehicle charging stations in partnership with local utility providers if demand grows.

In celebration of the grand opening, Love’s is donating $5,000 each to Jefferson Local Schools and Nationwide Children’s Hospital. The company also continues to support nonprofits in the area through annual community grants managed by its district teams.

The West Jefferson stop adds 85 new jobs to Madison County, contributing to Love’s network of 661 locations across 42 states. Headquartered in Oklahoma City, the family-owned business has been serving drivers since 1964 and now employs nearly 40,000 team members in North America and Europe.
