Thread: OnCue OKC Expansion

  1. #576

    Default Re: OnCue OKC Expansion

    So when I was in Vienna I would pass by this shell station:

    Vienna Shell Station

    It is fairly large with an express version of Spar, a grocery but it has trees and stuff on top of where the pumps are. Granted it looks huge and ugly, but the land usage is fairly urban.

    As far as I am concerned, OnCue is just a poor attempt at copying QT.

    Not a factual argument. It's more opinion than anything else.

    If it is a poor attempt, it's a well-executed poor attempt. OnCue is eating 7-Eleven's lunch and is a bit curious about what QuikTrip may have on their plate. Opinions are fine, my opinion is the Happy Meal is a poor attempt at copying Burger Chef's Funmeal. That opinion actually has some objective facts to back it up but that doesn't change the fact that McDonald's kicked their rears and people under a certain age have to Google "Burger Chef Funmeal" today.

    Wasn't one of the first OnCue locations built in an old vacated QuikTrip in Stillwater anyway? Seems like it was on the north side of Stilly on a busy corner, and QT vacated it after their handshake agreement with 7 Eleven. So not as much copy as "QT's little brother".

    Maybe. I don't know. I'm not from Oklahoma.

    I think what bothers me about OnCue is that there isn't any consistency with their catalog. My girlfriend really enjoys their ice coffee, but only a few have them. The same can be said with other stuff; frozen yogurt and drinks come to mind. Sounds like a stupid gripe, but I'm not going to stop in for ice coffee if there's a good chance that location doesn't have it.

    QTs and 7-Elevens are very good at product consistency. Each location caries the same products as the other.

    But OnCue have some of the cleanest bathrooms I have seen in that industry. I'll give them credit when credit is due.

    And I am probably just bitter OKC has no QTs, but that's not OnCue's fault...

    Rumor is an Oncue going in on N. Council just south of Memorial along with some multi-family. Doing a lot of tree removal and dirt work the last couple of weeks along and north of that creek.

    US Star owns the corner; they have/had a c-store at Hefner and Council but I believe it is closed.

    Could have a contract pending with OnCue. I'll keep my eye on it.

    I understand the neighborhood just south (Canyon Lakes) got a newsletter with that info but I have not seen it. Maybe the dirt work and tree removal is related to the multi-family (south of the corner).

    A lot going on in that mile line on council with a new shopping center area going in on the South end (NW 122nd and Council).

    If my brain farts are coming true, I guess all I can say is buckle up, things are going to get interesting.

    The sign is in front of the old halal market building and the old motel/car lot that was demolished recently. The corner of St. Clair and the service rd.

    Yes, in today's Saturday morning newspaper business section, page 4c, it states OnCue paid $1.2 million to Lowest Price Auto Sales LLC for 3600 NW 39th.

    I saw where they're building an OnCue on the northeast corner of SW 15th and Mustang Road, right across from 7 Eleven. Great place for an OnCue, right across from one of the better 7 Elevens. Hopefully that's the beginning of that large "town center" development.

    Is there any word on the OnCue going in at Northwest Expressway and Blackwelder, by Penn Square?

    The JR is reporting:

    "OnCue decides working with neighbors is good for business. OnCue plans a convenience store with gas pumps at NW 12th Street and N. Western Avenue in Oklahoma City; the neighborhood association is on board."

    I don't have a subscription anymore, so I am not sure what else is going into it, but wanted to put it out there.

    The new pumps at the station by the Capital handle contactless payments and ApplePay works real nice. Just tried it today.

    just make sure to check for attached RF detectors... scammers can still get info... it's a bit more difficult to then use, but not impossible

    Not really worried about RF scammers with Apple/Google Pay. As I understand it they send out unique numbers for each transaction to the merchant that aren't even the real numbers of your CC or attached to you at all.

    OnCue buys another key corner

    OnCue Express continues its rapid acquisition and expansion in the Oklahoma City area.



    The Stillwater-based convenience store chain has purchased 3.4 acres on the southeast corner of NW 39th and Portland and has begun clearing the land in advance of building another of their large-scale operations.

    Earlier this year OnCue purchased the old Carlyle Motel which had been more recently been operating as a used car lot. That set of buildings was razed in August.







    On September 30th, the venerable Porthole bar closed for the last time and that property is also being readied for demolition.



    And a third property, the OK Halal Restaurant and grocery, has been acquired by OnCue and vacated.

    At this time it does not appear that the corner property, Route 66 Laundromat, will be acquired and included.

    The new location will be just over a mile away from the 36th & May OnCue.

    Any updates on the OnCue at NW Expressway and Blackwelder? No work has been done there for over a year now and they have a lot of money sunk into that project!
