Love's
Getting to the Heart of Site Development
Love’s Travel Stops is dedicated to improving the lives of professional drivers and the traveling public by providing convenient, affordable, and reliable options to get them back on the road quickly. To this end, Love’s has selected CESO as a partner to support its continued expansion of a nationwide network.
Love’s develops sites across the United States that vary in size and complexity, with projects ranging from 5 to 25 acres. Their stores serve as hubs for road warriors, offering a comprehensive array of amenities. A typical site can include a convenience store, one or two QSR options, fueling lanes for both semis and passenger vehicles, and truck repair facilities. CESO provides a wide range of site services from start to finish, taking a project from conceptual site layout through final design, including grading, utilities, and stormwater management for these complex spaces. As part of our partnership with Love’s, we work on up to 30 projects concurrently, each in varying stages of development.
Since 2012, our team has provided complete site design and permitting services, including due diligence, entitlements, construction documents, and technical permitting. To date, this work has spanned over 250 projects across 38 states. As part of our programmatic collaboration, Love’s has also entrusted CESO with the development and maintenance of their civil engineering and landscape architecture standards. Our close integration with Love’s development team, combined with our ability to manage large-scale programs, has led to CESO being appointed to oversee their national as-built survey program. In this ever-evolving industry, our team of professionals continually studies trends and changes to ensure our standards incorporate the most effective practices, with the foremost goal of developing the best solutions for our clients.
