El Reno is the home of a new Love’s Travel Stops tire retread plant and distribution center.
The company stated that the 220,000-square-foot facility is double the size of one replaced in Grand Prairie, Texas. It is one of seven such Loves plants across the country and is a sign the Oklahoma City-based company is expanding its capacity for retread and distribution centers.
About 50 jobs were created with the new plant in El Reno.
“The new facility in El Reno is a great location to serve our most valuable customers and develop and distribute products to the surrounding towns and states,” stated Steve Phillips, director of tire sales and plant operations for Love’s. “This location allows us to provide greater coverage, so our customers can get back on the road quickly and safely.”
