Love’s Travel Stops Opens New Location in Shreveport

SHREVEPORT, LA - Big news for the Blanchard area today. The new Love's Travel Stop is open off of I-49 at the North Market exit. This massive truck stop brings about 80 jobs to the area.

Blanchard Mayor Jim Galambos is very excited about this development. He tells KEEL News this truck stops will bring in much needed revenue for Blanchard in the form of sales tax collections.
