Love's Revenue and Competitors

Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores operates more than 110 truck stops throughout a swath of about 28 states from California to Virginia, as well as 67 convenience stores in Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico and Oklahoma. Each travel stop includes a convenience store, a quick serve restaurant, such as Subway, Arby's, Carl's Jr, Hardee's, and fuel outlets for cars, trucks, and RVs. The travel stops also provide shower rooms, laundry facilities, game rooms, and mail drops. Love's has had tremendous growth rising from $1 billion in annual sales in 2001 to over $3 billion in 2005. Love's debuted at #446 on Forbe's list of privately-held companies and has risen to #132 in 2004. Love's also takes pride in contributing to the local communities. We believe giving back to each community is an important factor to our success and the success of non-profit organizations. All of our travel stops and country stores spend dollars on an annual basis to help support local organizations and events. Each year, our travel stops and country stores have supported organizations and events such as the PTO fund-raisers, little league baseball programs and school yearbook sponsorships. In 2005, Love's raised over $300,000 for Children's Miracle Network. CMN is a national network of quality children's hospitals. The funds raised last year were 15% more than in 2004. Through the hard work and dedication of our store managers and team members and through the generous donations from our customers and vendors, we will able to surpass that amount this year and help children's hospitals in every community where we are located. Love's future is full of excitement and growth. Our current rate of growth is between 12 and 15 Travel Stops per year. With this growth comes opportunity for everyone.
