Love's to upgrade 50 stores, open 20 new locations in 2025
The convenience giant will also continue growing its network of EV charging stations through National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure grants. In 2024, the company was awarded $83 million for the construction of chargers in 13 states. This year, construction is expected to start on fast chargers at Love’s locations in eight states including Alabama, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
To keep up with its planned expansion, Love’s says it will increase veteran hiring by 10% in 2025 and launch a hiring program for military spouses.
“As we enter the year, we’re committed to continuing to enhance the customer experience for all,” said Shane Wharton, president of Love’s. “This year, we’re excited to introduce new and updated locations, innovative food and drinks and continued improvement of the services and amenities we offer. With our continued focus on the evolving needs of customers, we’re confident we’ll provide an even better experience across our network in 2025.”
