Wish they would bring back “tap to pay” at the pumps. Much less chance for credit card skimming that when you must insert you card into the reader. Not sure why it was discontinued.

I buy all my gas with a Sams Mastercard. 5% cash back on gas purchased anywhere. That's .16/gal at 3.19. More if you purchase the higher priced 100%. And I only use OnCue unless I'm out of town and there none around. Never had a CC skimmed there. Also get the OnCue Kickback Card and swipe it before each purchase and earn points to redeem in the store. They add up quick.
Oddly, after clearing the old parking lots, Oncue has done nothing at this NW Ex & May location.
Absolutely nothing happening at the old Hilton Inn NW right next door, nor the old Lakeview Towers.
Seems like it took them forever to build the one on Rt 66 and Kilpatrick Turnpike.
Maybe they’re waiting to see how tomorrow’s FOMC meeting plays out?
The one at SW 104th/I44 looks real close to opening in next couple of weeks
They seem to do one at a time these days.
Any idea what the average cost to build one is excluding the land as that probably varies widely depending on location.
Except their stupid app doesn't like my Citi Mastercard that I use, so that's out. I refuse to link apps to my bank account.
Tap to pay isn't hard, many places do it, OnCue even used to do it. That tells me it is likely a $$ driven decision, not a technology limitation. Sad.
SW 104th & Porland opened today.
It will be nice once they start work on the UF store. Also, wondering when they will be starting the one on 13th and Western?
I suspect they've slowed their roll because of the incredibly tight job market.
Not just in general, but in just the last several years we've literally had hundreds of new OnCue, 7-11, Casey's, eExpress and QT is now hiring in Moore.
I know 7-11 has been having fits.
Our three "big players" are all relatively new to the market, and I think all trying to outdo each other in regards to expansion and having the best location. Given the car centered culture of the OKC Metro and how spread out we really are, C-Stores are easy to build with very little pushback. Not unique to OKC, but all three listed below are trying to also go above and beyond in what the store offers. Things like 7-11's Lardeo Taco, Oncue's The Grill, and Casey's Pizza are competing for non-traditional C-store revenue.
-OnCue came in to the OKC market fill the QuikTrip not in OKC void in about 2009, but has expanded rapidly in the last few years.
-7-11 while established by the Brown Family, sold to the 7-11 Corporation in Dallas in early 2020, and since taking over they have been busy building new stores.
-Caseys bought out the CircleK stores in spring 2021, but also has been expanding with newly built stores across OKC.
Stopped by the new store at SW104th/Portland. Seems larger than the other ones I have been in. They took what I call the wing area (The areas that is behind the grill on one side and behind the walk in and bathrooms on the other) and added seating to one side and made the other side an automotive area. Store has the new quick checkout registers

I was in 3 different QTs in Tulsa last weekend and I will say that OnCue has them beat hands down on bathroom facilities. I was really surprised as all I've heard is how great QYs are.
