==History==
In 1964, Tom and Judy Love spent $5,000 to lease an abandoned service station in Watonga, Oklahoma. They named their company Musket Corporation. Over the next eight years, Musket opened 40 additional gas stations. All of them operated under the Kerr-McGee gasoline brand. https://web.archive.org/web/20171215112426/https://www.questia.com/newspaper/1P2-5853400/the-century-club-tom-love-ceo-of-love-s-country 
When the fuel crunch of the early 1970's, began and gasoline was in short supply in the United States, Tom Love diversified for the sake of the company's success. He launched a new concept in Watonga called the "Mini Stop Country Store". The Mini Stop was successful and the company quickly opened more stores in western Oklahoma. https://www.loves.com/en/news/2023/march/tom-love-founder-and-executive-chair-of-loves-travel-stops-passes-away-at-85 
In 1972, Musket set out to convert all of its locations from gas stations to convenience stores with self served gasoline. By 1973, the company began using the family name to identify its locations. Love's Country Stores was the new name. https://www.redliondata.com/loves-travel-stops-country-stores/ 
In 1985, Loves added gifts and novelties. Then in 1993, Taco Bell became a partner, opening a cobranded location in Oklahoma City. The success of this partnership quickly grew. https://www.fleetowner.com/news/people/article/21702711/billion-dollar-idea-the-loves-travel-stops-story
