As East Texas continues to grow, premium sites for commercial development such as this become more rare. All
utilities are to the site. Elevated slightly, there is superior visibility of the Interstate with easy access via the 2-way
service road. Love's Travel has now expanded their operation to a second corner now having the NE and NW corners of
the interchange. A new Pilot Travel Center with market has just been completed on the SE corner. Starbucks and
Wendy's opened in November of 2023 and Southern Tire has now been completed and open for business. High traffic
counts. Connecting Dallas (70 miles) and Shreveport (115 miles) this location is an ideal stopover for travelers. 20
minutes each to Canton and Lindale with Tyler only 27 miles away.
The City of Van considers this interchange as the 'Gateway to Van' and is anxious to work with developers to bring
commercial uses to this area. A 'HIGHEST AND BEST' land use study has shown that the area is underserved for
hotels, restaurant and retail uses. Easy on and off of the Interstate, great visibility, easy access, and and utilities to the
site make this site ready for development and construction.
