Trinity Helps Celebrate Love's Travel Stops Grand Opening!
JOLIET, IL – There was a wonderful turnout on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, for the ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating the grand opening of the new Love’s Travel Stop located at 1501 New Lenox Road in Joliet, Illinois. The Love’s Travel Stop is open 24 hours a day.
Love’s Travel Stops is the nation’s leading travel stop network with 670 locations in 42 states. Founded in 1964 and headquartered in Oklahoma City, the company remains family-owned and operated, employing more than 40,000 people nation-wide.
Trinity Services had a large group on hand for the celebration. Jennifer Wisneski, who manages Trinity's Project Search, the employment program responsible for placing people supported in local area jobs, is very pleased with the relationship between Trinity and the new Love’s Travel Stop location.
“The Love’s organization and Amber Austen are great to work with,” said Wisneski. “They are very supportive of everyone from Trinity. Our folks enjoy working in their Hardee’s restaurant.”
Cade McDougal, who manages the new Love’s location, echoed those thoughts. “It’s great to have a location here in Joliet and right next to New Lenox,” said McDougal. “We look forward to serving Joliet and New Lenox and partnering with Trinity Services and other organizations in any way we can.”
