Love’s Reopens in Arkansas Featuring New Restaurant

Love's Re-opens North Little Rock location with New Restaurant Concept

OKLAHOMA CITY, December 20, 2018 – Love’s Travel Stops (Love's), the nation’s industry-leading travel stop network, today announces that it is now serving Customers again in North Little Rock, Arkansas, thanks to the reopening of a travel stop this morning. The travel stop, located at 11801 E. I-40 (off I-40, Exit 161), closed earlier this year for major renovations to better serve Customers. The refreshed location brings 50 jobs to Pulaski County and 64 truck parking spaces. This travel stop also now features Love’s first Petro’s Chili & Chips restaurant.

“The North Little Rock travel stop is an ideal location along heavily traveled I-40 and connects professional drivers and motorists in Arkansas to popular destinations such as Memphis, Tennessee,” said Tom Love, founder and executive chairman of Love’s. “The addition of Petro’s Chili & Chips restaurant is exciting for us because it is a new way to serve Customers in The Natural State.”

In 1982, Knoxville-based Petro’s made its debut at the World’s Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee. It originally served a sliced-open Frito’s®  bag piled high with chili and toppings, and today has numerous additional menu items such as nachos, chili-cheese hot dogs, loaded potatoes and more. The restaurant is the first Petro’s restaurant to be featured in a Love’s location.

  • Chester’s Chicken, Godfather’s Pizza and Petro’s Chili & Chips restaurants.
  • 64 truck parking spaces.
  • Eight diesel bays.
  • Five showers.
  • Laundry facilities.
  • Fresh to Go options.
