Love’s Travel Stops & Country Stores, a privately held Oklahoma City company with 590 24-hour truck stops and convenience stores in 41 states, is finalizing construction of its latest location, at Pasco’s King City.
The $10 million, Arby’s-anchored travel center is one of 40 expected to open in 2022 and is the second Love’s in the greater Tri-Cities. The company opened an $18 million travel center and hotel on Prosser’s Wine Country Road in 2016.
The Pasco Love’s includes fueling stations, a 12,400-square-foot building with about 10,000 square feet dedicated to general retail and 3,300 square feet to a restaurant, identified as Arby’s in building permits.
The company posts job openings at loves.dejobs.org.
The Pasco location has 72 parking spaces for passenger vehicles, five for recreational vehicles, five accessible spots, 14 for bobtail trucks without trailers and 47 full truck spots.
It boasts an entrance on Kartchner Avenue near the Highway 395 exit and an address of 3602 Capitol Avenue, which borders the property to the east. AutoZone Inc.’s massive Pasco warehouse is across Capitol.
Roserock Holdings, an affiliate of Love’s and the Love family, purchased the 9.2-acre property in 2020. Pascal Aughtry & Associates of Oklahoma City is the architect and engineer. Venture Construction is the contractor.
