Love's Travel Plaza at Choctaw Road

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

The main buildings are up too.

The old Loves there had a Taco Bell at one time. Very limited menu. Used to drive my wife nuts when I would get food there, she felt that no way the food wouldn't be disgusting. Tasted like regular Taco Bell to me.

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

My wife sends weekly messages to their Facebook page, telling them that McDonald's drools and Taco Bell rules. But they're not listening.

She loves Taco Bell for some reason.

Yeah, there's already three McDonalds close (north, east and west). I can't see it being a great thing for the chain, except that it'll get good business from the interstate. I'll bet the three McDonalds nearby wish it weren't there, as well. Given the option (and a requirement), I'll opt for a McDonalds that doesn't require me to use what is probably the third most accident-prone interstate intersection.

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

No kidding. I avoid that intersection like the plague. Luckily, I live off of Peebly...So I don't need to use the Choctaw exits often...Plus, I work nights, so I'm never in traffic around there.

Perhaps you were both right?

I live at I-40 and Choctaw Road and am thrilled to see McDonald's. The closest one is at I-40 and Douglas and SE 29th at Harrah and NE 23rd West of Choctaw, all at eight miles. Actually it is a perfect place for a McDonald's. In fact, that is the one thing that I look forward to most about this truck stop.

29th and Harrah rd too. Opened a few months ago.

I look forward to being able to see the glowing sign again...Lets me know that I'm almost home, my exit is only a couple of miles further

Disclaimer, My life does not ebb and flow with this Love's. All the same...
What is taking them so long? They STILL have that "Open Soon" sign covering the actual sign.
They have a billboard up at the I-240/I-35 intersection (headed west) saying that they're there.
Their CAT scales sign is lit in the morning, now.
They have signage up on the front saying there'll be a McDonalds and Subway there.
The hill out back is more or less groomed.
How long will Love's be content to sit on this without earning income?

They were a supposed to.open in March...before ling it will be may. They don't seem too concerned with it.

[Dubya61]

I think they're open. The "Open Soon" canvas sign is down and the "Love's" sign and gas prices are lit up.

Correct, opened today.

I will have to stop by for some Robertson's Beef Jerky.

Is that Love's serving Robertson's? If so I'll have a ham sammich with
mayo and, if I feel like it, cheese.

Doubt they are selling ham sandwiches but every Love's I have ever been in carries Robertson's jerky and beef sticks.
