QuikTrip

[scottk]

I haven't been, so pardon my ignorance, but is the QT not great or are we so spoiled with Oncue at this point?

A little of both.

QuikTrip was definitely innovative and unique and when compared to the C-stores of the 80's and 90's. However, just about every national brand, and even a local brand like OnCue, saw what made QuikTrip successful and adjusted their model.

Look at how 7-11 adjusted and now builds much bigger stores in OKC, replacing the older ones that the Brown family built through the years, and offers more on-demand hot food. New Love's stores are similar with a much larger footprint and fresh food offerings.

OnCue has the advantage of having basically one large market to focus on (OKC) and their OKC stores are all less than a decade or so old and built on very large lots from the ground up. OnCue has some things that definitely set it apart from QT's current store design, like automatic entry or double doors for traffic flow, a completely large, natural light filled, doorless and touchless restroom, the covered canopy for shade in the heat of summer and rainy days, the drive through window.

QuikTrip is a much larger company, and like a large ship, it probably takes a lot of planning and effort to implement company wide changes to be consistent across all of their markets.

I have no pics to post, but I noticed the QT in north OKC has been built and is coming along nicely.

I still like QT over OnCue. QT were the original gangsters. OnCue is the Pepsi to Coca-Cola.

I like QT in Denver because they have given me the lowest gas price in the state for months.

I think a lot of metro people would feel the same, had they built here long ago. OnCue took a similar business model and took advantage of a market absent of QTs.

I do like QT, however I feel that OnCue has stepped up to the plate and I see many similarities between the two businesses. To be honest, I actually prefer OnCue.

I lived in Tulsa for a while and still have family there. Excluding Buc-ee's, in my opinion, QT is the best, followed closely by OnCue. I try not to be lazy enough to use a drive-through, so that's not a big deal to me.

The I-35 & Hefner QT definitely looks pretty small to hold a lot of Semis. We live near here, and I am concerned about the updates they are about to make to the Turner/Kilpatrick/I-35 junction driving a ton of traffic to this exit.

Another Quiktrip is being built in Norman per this post. Just thought I would share in this thread for people who don’t frequent the Norman sub forum.

The pumps at Hefner/35 location started going in today. They are getting very close to finishing.

This location looks complete. Tables with umbrellas outside. Parking lot fully paved. Have we heard an opening date?

[Pete]

The Hefner/I-35 location is scheduled to open 8/29 but subject to change as they come down the stretch.

QT has a new Nitro Coffee Station that looks pretty cool going into some of their locations. I first saw them pop up on TikTok and supposedly has been quite the hit.

Any idea when the one supposedly coming to Lindsey St. in Norman might start work?

[TornadoKegan]

I Thought it was Main and I-35?

It is. Thank you for the correction.

I hope this date is still correct. It has looked finished for awhile now.

[Pete]

I hope this date is still correct. It has looked finished for awhile now.

I'm trying to confirm and will report back.

[Pete]

QuikTrip confirmed the opening date for Hefner and I-35 is 10/3.

Drove by this new location this past weekend and noticed such a short sign. Usually along interstates they have a much taller and larger sign. Coming up over those hills a traveller wouldn't notice it until they've already passed the exit.
