As a big QT fan always get excited when I see Pete has bumped this thread. Hope they start building the one by Frontier City soon.

Work should be starting at the north site very soon.

Foundation of the old Dodson Homes was removed last week and a portable construction office was delivered on site.
Grading and tree clearing about to start!

QT recently opened their 1,000th store.

They're not messing around

Quiktrip made a cameo in the newest episode of Barry on HBO. The show was created by and stars Tulsa native Bill Hader.

Good to see Quiktrip enter the OKC market! This will bring much game and competition to the marketplace.

I think the plan is to basically operate these two locations as travel centers. There may be a future travel center in the works in a place like I-40 and Morgan, but my understanding is that QuikTrip has no plans to expand beyond these travel stores right off major interstates. OKC's QuikTrips will look and function a lot like the ones in Little Rock and Jackson, MS, with a few locations sprinkled across the city not Tulsa or Dallas with a location on every corner across the city.

So, after living in OKC for over 20 years, my wife and I moved to Brunswick Georgia last November. The move had to happen quickly and with inventory so low we decided to rent and get the lay of the land before we purchased anything. The first day we rolled into town at the exit for the house we were renting had a brand spanking new QT with a big OPEN SOON sign. I can't even tell you how happy it made me to see that I'd have a QT right near the house. It's a truck stop/travel center version. It's at the same intersection as a Love's with a Speedco, and two other very large truck stops and about 3 other gas stations. Of course it's always slammed busy but it's the only place I frequent and is a great little piece of "home" for me here in the deep south. We're also rumored to be getting a Buc-ee's a couple of exits north of us on I-95 so that will be very interesting.

Not much happening yet at I-35 & Hefner:

My goodness they ain't messing around.

We were in a QT today in Tulsa on 165th E Ave and I44. It was a zoo. Too many people in there and only 2 cashiers.

I was disappointed to see they aren't using the model where the pumps are off to the side so people can get in and out with out having to deal with the traffic from the pumps. Like the new Domino's at 50th and May

That is a pain. See that at On Cue a lot where you have to dodge all the cars going in or coming out of the pumps. However, QT does entrances on the side with parking on each side so you can get in and out without dealing with the pumps. Looks like this one will be set up the same way.

From the previous plans, looks like truck fuel is in the back. Interesting that they don't have a nice entry like the other three sides. Looks like just a door judging by the lack of raised wall entry in the current construction.

Also, on the left front side of the picture past the gas pumps, there are some red boxes and pipes sticking out of ground. These are not on the proposed pictures that were posted earlier. Are these EV charging slots?

No, on the high-res version of that photo I can see they are tanks.

The main tanks are on the north side of that canopy; perhaps these are diesel?

I asked QT about the timing of the Moore location and they said they are targeting February 2024.

I'm hoping that is just them being overly cautious because that seems like an absurd amount of time given where they are now.

Any updates on the Frontier City location?

There are photos above. Well behind Moore.

Is 2024 a possibility or are we looking at 2025?

Dirt work has started now on Hefner location

Given how far along they are on the Moore location, the gas tanks below, if full, could explode, and they still should be able to get it done by 2025. It would be a huge waste of time to spend 1.5 years on what looks like maybe 4 or 5 months left of work.

Dirt work has started now on Hefner location

Pad work started
Dirt dropped off
And some tanks now on location

Bet they now start moving quick on this location with the Moore location getting closer to being complete

Moore from today.

Happy to see that crappy station removed from the NW corner.

Any chance Toby Keith can be talked into doing a concert in the parking lot for the grand opening of this location?

Not sure if you meant it as a serious suggestion but he's been battling cancer so might not be up to it even if interested.

I was joking due to the water tower just to the west of this location but was unaware about the cancer battle, that is unfortunate.

He's much better. He threw one for the OU softball team in which he performed and last week attended the Tulsa football game with Bob Stoops to see former OU coach Kevin Wilson as the new Tulsa coach.

This and the Express across the street are in a race to see who gets done first!

I wish eExpress the best of luck, but man, they are in for some tough sledding against QT's brand recognition.

I wonder if QT has any plans for stores on I-40 perhaps maybe Yukon and Midwest City?

The one on Sunnylane and 240 is actually pretty swanky. They are actually pretty similar, so for me it will be 1 - who is on the side of the street i need it to be on and then 2 - what's your gas price and is that ethanol or pure? I dont go inside 99.9% of the time, so i dont care what the inside has to offer. I know that a LOT of people do though. So for me, it's about that pump experience.

We had our card data taken twice after going to Casey's when they came in to town. So i stopped going there. Happened at different locations and seems to have happened to a lot of people making me think its was back office processing fraud. I have been using a little local location that the card readers or pumps are down a lot. So i'm very happy that i'll have these two options near my location now.

OnCue is just down the road, but not really close enough to be a competitor. The two of these together....we'll see. bum bum buuuuuum.

Moore QuikTrip now have signage on building
18447

the canopies are up at the I35 north location

They're building new locations like crazy in Denver, too. A new one opened near my house and touched of a gas price war. I drove by Sunday and they were at $1.72/gal but were up to $2.30 this morning - still the cheapest in town.

It appears that QuikTrip might have acquired a tract in south Norman on Classen and Cedar Lane.

They have a couple of similar, small properties around OKC.

The general consensus is they are for the healthcare arm of QT, as they are too small for a QuikTrip.

Wow, I had no idea they had a healthcare arm.

it could also be one of their smaller stores

They said they would only do travel centers in the OKC area, so there is no way this will be a QT c-store.

Wow, I had no idea they had a healthcare arm.

So far they are basically just in/near Tulsa metro, and only announced the concept in 2020, but seem to be expanding it pretty aggressively.

The Moore location is still aiming for a February open:

Probably Henryetta. Tulsa is closer as well.

There's one in Wichita Falls Texas as well

Pretty sure the closest one as of right now is in Henryetta.

In regards to the QT in Moore, interesting planning choice on moving the curb cut entrance on the service road even closer to the intersection from when it was Pickles, especially when that same lane turns into a right turn only lane onto Moore Avenue. I imagine this will get backed up/congested into the intersection.

The OKC Metro (multiple municipalities) sure loves multiple entrances into every business from every which way possible at the expense of efficient traffic flow.

Yes! That 7-11 makes me rage.

99.9% of the time the way buildings are situated are due to access to easements and right of ways.

Add the Shell/EzMart at Hefner and MacArthur to the infuriating list.
