The Love's Midweek Mix-ups promotion is being run by the retailer as a weekday summertime promotion for customers to take advantage of throughout August and September. The promotion will offer customers two pre-selected drinks for $5 and also offers a complimentary large cup of ice to encourage customized refreshments. The budget-friendly promotion from Love's Travel Stops will include the Patriot Punch, Cherry Drift, Turbo Tang and Caf & Cola themes throughout August.
The Love's Midweek Mix-ups promotion is running alongside the new Love's Fresh Kitchen concept that offers a range of quick, delicious fare for customers to pick up all summer long. This includes chipotle-flavored chicken tacos, chicken salad wraps, cheddar sausage on a bun, strawberry and pineapple fruit cups and fresh strawberry parfaits.
