Love's Travel Stop Ankeny

What they do. Who they serve.

Love's Travel Stop Ankeny sits just northeast of Des Moines off I-35 and I-80, serving the busy freight corridor that links Kansas City, Minneapolis, and Chicago. The location offers 24-hour diesel and gasoline fueling, plus parking for over 80 trucks—important in a metro where secure overnight spots fill quickly. Tire care is available on-site, and drivers can grab hot food, showers, and supplies any hour of the day. This stop works well for owner-operators running Midwest regional routes and fleets staging loads through the Des Moines area. The Ankeny address puts you minutes from I-35 northbound and quick access back to the I-80 mainline, making it a practical fuel-and-rest point before the next stretch. Whether you're inbound to the city or rolling through Iowa on a cross-country haul, the combination of ample parking and round-the-clock amenities keeps you moving on schedule.
