As the result of a merger between two major competitors, the federal government selected Love's as a viable company to acquire locations in key markets.  This was to ensure adequate competition.

As a Nationwide restaurant partner of Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores, Chester's was able to offer the flexibility, and nimbleness to meet the food service offerings during these transitions.

"We are excited to catapult the brand forward through growth with Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores.  Their motto of Clean Places, Friendly Faces meshed with Chester's Fresh Fried Chicken makes it a welcome stop on the freeway system," stated James Venable, Vice President, Operations with Chester's.

These locations are in Corning, CA, Tacoma, WA, Des Moines (Clive), IA, Oak Creek, WI, and Gary, IN.
