Tom Love, founder of Love’s Travel Stops, dies at 85

OKLAHOMA CITY — Love’s Travel Stops and Country Stores says the founder of the truck stop chain known for its red and yellow heart logo, “Clean Places, Friendly Faces” motto and in-store showers has died.

The company announced on its website that Tom Love died Tuesday in Oklahoma City. He was 85. A cause of death was not given.

“We are deeply saddened by the passing of our beloved husband, father and grandfather,” family members said in the statement. “While the grief we feel is unmeasurable, we celebrate his life and will continue his legacy of living a life filled with integrity, honesty and faith.”

Love and his wife, Judy, founded what became Love’s Travel Stops and Country Stores as Musket Corporation in 1964, according to the statement. They leased a closed service station for $5,000 in Watonga, about 50 miles northwest of Oklahoma City.

“In many respects, he was an ordinary person who built an extraordinary business alongside his wife Judy and his family, who he loved deeply,” Love’s President Shane Wharton said in the company statement.

Love’s, worth $9.7 billion in 2022 according to Forbes, remains family owned. It now operates about 600 travel stops in 42 states with more than 39,000 employees, mostly along interstate highways.

Love established a concept that combined grocery and convenience stores with fuel stops, opening what the company said was the first combination grocery-convenience store with a self-service gasoline station in 1972 in Guymon, Oklahoma, in the Oklahoma Panhandle.

Love’s opened its first travel stop on Interstate 40 in Amarillo, Texas, in 1981, catering to professional truck drivers and other motorists seeking convenience and efficiency when traveling across the country.

Love’s has expanded those services to include truck maintenance and roadside assistance for tractor-trailer rigs, and showers in the stores.

The company logo, a multi-colored, multi-layered heart with a red heart seemingly moving toward the viewer is featured atop the store’s signs along interstates, on the jersey’s of the NBA’s Oklahoma City Thunder and on NASCAR Cup Series cars.

Love is survived by his wife, four children, nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Funeral services were not announced.

Great but needs improvement

Overall I have virtually no complaints. It does what it sets out to do for truckers to make things easier while on the road and in the store. That being said the app has one MAJOR issue that should be a priority in fixing. The app doesn’t seem to have full support in push notifications for showers. Several times I’m been waiting in que for the shower and while I’m doing something else I’ll get a notification that the shower expired, but no notification before that my shower was ready???? This is getting annoying. Most times it’s not an inconvenience but the times that it’s late or there’s 7+ guys ahead of me the first time I was in line it’s gets infuriating pretty quickly. LOVES please fix this issue.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for reaching out. We want to troubleshoot this crash with you, but we'll need some more information. Please email us at [email protected] and request they send on to the Love's Connect mobile app team. We'll work through how to get you up and running with the app.

Doesn’t Work

First you broke the login system on the app where my login worked just fine to where I had to sign in with my card and pin, which the app refuses to allow and tells me to call customer service as though they can fix what the developers broke. Second, you precede to brake the website as well, so now you won’t let me login to either the site or the app. Why can’t just use our email addresses and passwords as at least an option to login instead like normal people using a normal app or website providing a normal service. What the heck? I’ve already complained about this several times with you blocking my card and pin from being able to login to your broken app, then you break the website too. Now I’m running blind without knowing if I have points or shower credits. Loves, please fire these fresh out of app boot camp millennials and hire real, experienced developers to fix what they’ve broken. I can’t even use your service anymore. This has been going on for far too long. I’m very disappointed in Love’s upper management’s lack of over-site into what the tech department keeps breaking.

We appreciate your feedback, Scott. The app update introduced new pay features, which required a more secure sign in process. You may select "Sign In" from the Home screen and then tap “I don’t have a PIN,” which guides you through signing in with your email and password. If this doesn't help, we’re happy to assist with any additional issues you are encountering. You can reach our Support Team at [email protected].

Love Loves - add more RV features

We have just started traveling in our camper van and have discovered Love’s as newbies. We have stopped at about 8 travel centers and overnighted at 3 that have RV facilities. We have found them to be universally clean as can be, the staff friendly and helpful and the showers are spotless. The sites had good water pressure, electric and one even had sewer hookup. As for the app, it needs to be enhanced to support the RV parks better. My suggestions: 1) add a section where I can find my past and upcoming visits, 2) allow me to reserve showers for more than just myself, so I can make shower reservations for both of at the same time, 3) add a place where I could see what is available in a travel center store, so we know what is there, especially regarding things like tools and other RV equipment.

Thanks for sharing your feedback! We'll look into incorporating RV support in our app based on your suggestions. Please email us at [email protected] if you have any additional suggestions or need assistance.

Keep on trucking: How Love's Travel Stop grew from one store to an international empire

W ATONGA — Harold Wells, 73, has worked for Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores for 51 years, an entire career, after starting out here in one of the late Tom Love's earliest stores.

Al Harper, 70, is still here in Watonga, where he grew up and where he's worked for 24 years in Love's No. 1, the first of what is now nearly 650 Love's Travel Stops and convenience stores catering to casual drivers and professional truckers in 42 states. The company has about 40,000 employees.

Over those decades, Wells and Harper have demonstrated, actually lived out what Love's points to for its success: "humble beginnings, teamwork, work ethic and perseverance."

The Love family, and the family-owned corporation, which is celebrating its 60th anniversary, say those aspects of the company's culture — humble beginnings, teamwork, work ethic and perseverance — have guided its growth since Tom and Judy Love started out in 1964.

Judy Love doesn't say much to the media, but in light of Love's 60th anniversary, she told The Oklahoman:

"When Tom and I opened the first location in Watonga 60 years ago, we couldn’t imagine what this company would become. The journey has been amazing. One thing I know is that we wouldn’t be here without our loyal team members and customers. We are fortunate so I feel that we should help others. That’s why we’ve always given back to many nonprofit organizations."

Dedication and innovation keep longtime Love's employees at work for decades at Love's No 1 in Watonga and at OKC corporate headquarters

Harper said a manager at Love's No. 1 recruited him to take the night shift in 2001, when shoplifters and others were causing the store trouble. It was his second career after 27 years working at a carpet mill until it closed. He said he "got it cleaned up," and has been happy working there ever since.

"I like meeting the people. I told (a supervisor), 'I'll stay here and keep the store going as long as I can,'" the 70-year-old said.

Wells started at Love's in Watonga part time in 1972, when he was working on degrees in math and physics at Southwestern State College in Weatherford, just before it was renamed Southwestern Oklahoma State University. He graduated but stayed with Love's, never looking back.

Wells is Love's manager of retail accounting systems and has lived in Edmond and worked at company headquarters — at suburban 10601 N Pennsylvania Ave. in The Village — for decades. He said every innovation Love's has made over the years has given him something new and exciting to learn. He could have retired 10 years ago, but he's kept at it.

"It's easy to work for a company and believe in what you do," he said, when the company has a reputation like Love's.

Love's Field: A reminder that roots and reputation helped bring the big-hearted Loves big riches

Roots and reputation helped make Love's a top workplace, and helped make the Loves generous billionaires, giving to causes across the state, not just in Oklahoma City.

Love's Travel Stops had $26.5 billion in revenue last year, according to Forbes, making it the ninth-largest private company in the country. Judy Love had a net worth of $10.2 billion, landing her at No. 2 on USA Today's list of "America's richest self-made women."

Symbols abound for "humble beginnings, teamwork, work ethic and perseverance." Add benevolence, and the symbol Jenny Love Meyer keeps in her office makes sense. She's a daughter of Tom and Judy Love, and Love's chief culture officer.

The reminder of what it took to get the family and company where they are? A softball trophy, but a replica, making it a reminder of a reminder:

Love's Field, which opened this year . Love's contributed the lead gift of the $37 million that helped pay for the $48 million field and stadium, earning it naming rights. The trophy is a reproduction of the University of Oklahoma Sooners’ 2023 NCAA championship softball trophy.

“This 44,000 square-foot complex is a nod to Coach (Patty) Gasso and all those who have been instrumental to building the Oklahoma softball dynasty and hopefully an inspiration for the female student-athletes who compete in it. They are our leaders of the future,” Love Meyer said. “Love’s is humbled to stand alongside the more than 1,100 donors who graciously supported this project. The $37 million raised is the largest dollar amount privately fundraised for a female-specific facility project in college athletics history.”

Parallels between Love's No. 1 in Watonga and Love's Field in Norman

Raising Love's Field took years and "a village of dedicated people to complete," Love Meyer said. She said she sees parallels to her parents' success after their beginnings in Watonga and Gasso's success after 30 years of "building a softball powerhouse in Norman, Oklahoma."

“With little money to invest and a growing family to support, my parents used a $5,000 loan to lease an abandoned service station in Watonga, a small community 60 miles west of Oklahoma City," she said. "That initial willingness to start and grow a business required confidence, innovative thinking, hard work and perseverance, and is why Love’s is where it is today.

"Similarly, when Coach Gasso arrived in Norman in 1994, she organized practices at a local park and needed to schedule practice in between slow pitch softball leagues. And sometimes had to clean up the dugout from festivities the night before.

"She never gave up. From former OU Associate Athletic Director Marita Hynes, Coach Gasso, softball alumni, to current players, and the university, they persevered through all the challenges. That championship mindset is how success is built.”

How Love's started: Tom and Judy Love 'had two small children to feed and bills to pay'

Nobody in the Love family, or among the earliest employees, could have dreamed that Love's, first called Musket Corp., would ever become such a retail juggernaut, with locations popping up along interstate highways like spring dandelions — plus several other ventures catering to, and supporting, the trucking industry, everyday travelers, and fuel supply chain management.

“When my parents opened our first location 60 years ago, they never imagined what Love’s would grow into," Love Meyer said. "They had two small children to feed and bills to pay and had to figure out a way to do that. My dad had the idea to lease an abandoned filling station, and through hard work, finding ways to learn about the business and, as he would say, working with and hiring people smarter than him, they grew it into what it is today.

"We attribute our success to our team members and customers. They’ve helped us grow into what we are today while remaining true to the family-owned and -operated business model that we know sets us apart from competitors. We always say that if our teams take care of customers, we’ll take care of them, and we think that’s been a pretty good standard to live by.”

Love's rolls both ways, with professional drivers and casual customers

If you're a professional truck driver, Love's is a truck stop. If you're not, Love's is a convenience store with fast food. Chances are, trucker or not, you don't know what all drives the family-owned company.

Love's rolls both ways, of course. Two-thirds of fuel sales are to professional drivers, and two-thirds of in-store sales are to casual customers, the company says. But Love's business is more than gasoline, diesel, and road trip snacks and fast food.

This year, the company plans to add up to 25 new locations, update up to 40 older stores, and rebuild four, among other company expansions, said Shane Wharton, Love's president.

“Six decades ago, (the late) Tom Love opened our first service station in Watonga, Oklahoma, and almost immediately started selling household items to make stopping in more convenient for customers,” Wharton said. “Today, as the only major travel stop that is still family owned and operated, we continue with his innovative spirit by adding new products and improving the experience to give customers more reasons to stop in.”

Four generations of Loves are involved with the company, including billionaire co-founder Judy Love . But numerous others have helped build Love's since 1964, Love-Meyer said.

RELATED: Bojangles isn't coming to Oklahoma Love's locations after all, and why is a mystery

“While a lot has changed ... the heart of Love’s has not," she said. “We are so grateful for our incredible team members — past and present — whose contributions play a role in shaping our company.

"Growth and innovation of our product offerings, living our core values and culture daily, and dedication to clean places, friendly faces are what this company was started on in 1964. Today, we proudly stand on that foundation and know our best is still ahead of us.”

RELATED: Biggest-ever Love's Travel Stop reminds me why I love Love's but will wait awhile yet to stop in

Love's went on a buying spree in 2023, its biggest year for mergers and acquisitions.

The company acquired EZ GO from Lawton-based Carey Johnson Oil Co., including six travel stops on Oklahoma turnpikes, five on the Kansas turnpike and 11 convenience stores in Oklahoma and Nebraska.

EZ GO, like Love's, features franchise food and owns and operates Back Forty Barbecue at two locations. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Houston-based Musket Corp., owned by Love's, established European operations with headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. Musket's focus is supplying Love’s Travel Stops with gasoline and diesel and managing the company’s biodiesel program. Subsidiary Musket Europe SARL extends the company's commodity supply and logistics, providing relief for the instability in global fuel supply chains.

Love's also bought OKC-based TVC Pro-Driver, a motor club and commercial driver’s license protection service. It assists drivers and fleets in reducing or dismissing fines, preventing downtime for court, and protecting federal compliance, safety and accountability scores. A subscription provides access to a network of attorneys and discounts on safety solutions, health care and more. Terms were not disclosed.

RETAIL INVESTMENT: Car washes near me? Probably. Why investors are building them everywhere in OKC area

Love's continues to expand and enhance services for drivers — professional and casual.

Through awards from the Federal Highway Administration's National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program , Love's-owned Trillium Energy Solutions , which Love's acquired in 2016, plans to add to Love’s electric vehicle fast-charging network with new chargers at 29 locations this year.

For truckers driving Freightliners, which Love's said accounts for about half all trucks on the road, Freightliner ExpressPoint is now available at more than 400 Love’s truck care locations, providing light mechanical warranty repair work for Freightliner trucks through Love’s partnership with Daimler Truck North America. Love's rolled out the service in January and plans to expand it this year.

Love's plans 10 new full-service Speedco locations next to its travel stops, 50 maintenance bays and and about 60 emergency roadside vehicles. Love's has owned Speedco since 2017.

Love family philanthropy seen across Oklahoma, elsewhere

Love's donates 2% of net profits to charity and good causes.

"Many know the story of Love’s...," Love Meyer said last year in Love's first-ever Community Impact Report. "And from those humble roots, he built a family-owned and -operated network of travel stops now approaching 700 locations.

"But it’s important to know that from the start, as he built the business, he cared about the communities where the stores were located. It is this caring, combined with a desire to give back, that is the foundation for charitable giving at Love’s. This is certainly one of the legacies my dad left with us. ... Helping others is nothing new for Love’s."

This year, in addition to the debut of Love’s Field, the Oklahoma City Zoo’s Expedition Africa and completely renovated Love's Pachyderm Building opened, the new Women’s Center at Mercy Hospital opened, and Love's Planetarium at Science Museum Oklahoma is scheduled to open.

"Our efforts are certainly not limited to Oklahoma and include building meaningful partnerships to transform communities nationwide," Love Meyer said.

Love's gave away nearly $12 million in 2022, according its 2023 Community Impact Report — 46% to youths and education, 20% to health and human services, 25% to civic and community organizations, and 9% to other needs. Recipients included:

• $6.9 million to Children's Miracle Network, which has received nearly $50 million in all from Love's.
• $3.5 million to Science Museum Oklahoma/Love's Planeterium.
• $150,000 to Operation Homefront.
• $100,000 to St. Christopher Trucking Development and Relief Fund.
• $50,000 to Truckers Against Trafficking.

In addition, Love's corporate employees donated $676,000 to United Way of Central Oklahoma and 1,400 volunteer hours to various causes.

Judy Love, as matriarch, has led the way in the Love family's giving.

Recipients include Positive Tomorrows, the Oklahoma Hall of Fame, the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City, the University of Oklahoma , Oklahoma State University, Children’s Miracle Network and United Way, as well as out-of-state organizations and groups.

All that giving, and all that innovation, have kept the Loves' reputation growing, and Love's competitive and growing, for 60 years.

“As Love's has expanded its network and offerings over the past 60 years, we’ve been able to stay true to who we are and what we represent, clean places with friendly faces who work hard every day to get customers back on the road quickly," Love Meyer said. "The dedication to helping our customers every day, while innovating and striving to be better, is foundational for Love’s, from our leaders to team members across the nation.”

We stopped here for gas and food on our way through. Gas was average but we went into the Arby's they have attached to it. Their Arby's staff was impressive. Several large group families came in almost one right after the other and they got them waited on and served faster than any fast food joint I think I've ever seen. It was impressive.

Somewhere between Bloomington Illinois and Indianapolis, this was a brief stop for a bathroom break. The store was in decent condition with a clean restroom and that's always a good thing. Lots of snacks and drinks. This Love's shares the building with an Arby's if that's something you enjoy. [Review 17195 overall - 112 in Illinois - 712 of 2022.]

Love's Travel Stop, El Paso IL

The employees here rock! Not only were they professional and kind, but they also helped me find everything I needed. Go ahead-check all the other loves truck stops- this loves by far has the best customer service employees. And the bathrooms were nice and clean! These guys deserve a PAY RAISE for how hard they are working!

I got a large fountain Arizona Green Tea on my way way home from my grandmas house in Illinois - we stop at this location almost every time we come through. While drinking I felt something in my mouth, it was a small piece of metal. I stoped drinking and when I got home I poured it out and found plastic and metal pieces about 30 in total floating in the bottom. It's disgusting and I don't know how much of this I consumed before stopping. Don't get fountain drinks!!!!!

Came here to fuel up and grab some munchies while I was on my journey to Columbus Ohio. It's an average Loves location. It's got an Arby's with it. Plenty of things to choose from but it's absolutely so pricey here. Staff isn't that bad but not the best. Lines move quickly. Tons of little collectibles too

I have been driving past this Love's every couple of months for the past few years to visit family. Recently, I started traveling past more frequently to visit my elderly parents. We love this Love's! It's always cleaning has a wide variety of merchandise. We can even find all the various cords my kids inevitably need for all their electronics. Their clerks are absolutely the best. They are always kind and super helpful. I always feel safe stopping here in the middle night when I'm traveling by myself. Today my daughter and I stopped in. One of the clerks accidentally double charged me for an item. I didn't notice, and she could have just let it go. But she immediately saw it and asked the manager to come over to give me a refund. It's nice to know there's a safe spot to stop at late at night when you're traveling far away from home!

Truck stops are usually graded upon your arrival by how clean the bathrooms are! Also now as a father I tend to look at how the baby changing situation is.. Ps I don't like it, when you are stuck in a stall! Cause it's usually the biggest stall and if you were going to go number 2 you would probably choose the biggest stall which makes this the most used stall of all! This Love's bathroom was definitely in need of some of attention. Far from the worst I have ever seen, but not close to the best either! Other then the restroom, the place looked sharp and consistent with other Love's Travel Stops from across the land! Nothing ground breaking here! But heck if you need coffee they got those!

Traveling westbound on Interstate 74 (I-74) west after lunchtime - I had yet to eat lunch, but even more important, I was feeling the need for speed, as in caffeine. Opportunities for liquid crack are few and far between out in the Farmlands of Illinois - so you take your opps when they come. In this case - a chain I'd never heard of before - Love's! A gas station, convenience store, food stop, and more rolled all into one. And with an Arby's attached to it - you can walk back and forth between the two without going through a physical door. I got the 16 oz. cup of French Roast coffee and a bottle of Aquafina water - it was really good coffee - I did not taste it until I got back on the road - made me wish I had gotten an even large cup size! NOTE: Google maps does not accurately depict the location of this address - it is right off the interstate - not in the town of Le Roy.

Easy to get to in and out of. Clean restrooms and a friendly staff. They also have an Arby's attached. I have seen Love's with McDonalds and Subway but this is the first one I have seen with an Arby's. Nice touch.

girl working cash register was amazing! messed up my change and came out to the parking lot to fix the error! highly recommend stopping here for gas!
