Love’s Truck Stop/Plaza Planned for Morristown
A new state-of-the-art truck stop is about to be built at the Belmont Morristown exit off I-70 (208), on Route 149.
The Love’s Travel Stop and Country Store will have two eateries–Godfather’s Pizza and Hardee’s.
It will have a complete tire store as well as gas and diesel fuel.
Love’s is an Oklahoma-based, family-owned company with over 630 locations in 42 states.
The building will be 17,000 square feet and the entire facility will cover dozens of acres on a site that was formerly the Crooked Creek Golf Course, across from the Pilot Plaza. Area residents will remember Crooked Creek as a development by Bethesda’s Bill Loase back in the 1990s. The course closed and the property was offered for sale several years ago.
“So this new truck stop gives tourists an opportunity to get off of Interstate, come get gas and maybe they’ll check out other things we have in the area like Barkcamp State Camp right down the road or the Underground Railroad Museum the opposite direction”, Jackee Pugh, executive director for the Belmont
County Tourism Council, told WTRF TV-7 News.
Construction is expected to begin shortly with a 2025 delivery.
