QuikTrip is pleased to announce that its new location in Excelsior Springs will officially open for business on October 10th, 2024. This highly anticipated opening marks an exciting development for local residents and visitors alike, offering a convenient new option for fuel, snacks, and more.
In preparation for the grand opening, significant infrastructure improvements have been completed. McCleary Road, which underwent extensive work, has now reopened as of Friday. The next phase of the project involves the installation of new traffic signals at the intersection of McCleary Road and Highway 69, aimed at improving traffic flow and safety in the area.
“So I was wondering if anyone knew the parade route for opening day at QuikTrip?” citizen Rolanda Peterson asked in a post in the Excelsior Citizen Facebook Group, encouraging everyone to purchase QT gear for the big day. “I am assuming we will have a parade that ends there with all the blood, sweat, and tears that went into getting one!”
Residents and commuters can look forward to the added convenience and enhanced accessibility once the traffic signal installation is complete. QuikTrip’s arrival is expected to boost local commerce and provide a new, reliable stop for travelers.
Harrison Township to Host New QuikTrip Store
Convenience store and gas retailer QuikTrip has plans for a new store in Harrison Township, where a hotel once operated. The Dayton Daily News reported last week that Tulsa, Okla.-based QuikTrip spent nearly $2.3 million on just over six acres at 2301 Wagner Ford Road.
For years, that site was the location of a hotel — first a Holiday Inn, then a Ramada, and then an off-brand “Dayton Hotel.” Tornadoes on the evening of Memorial Day 2019 ripped through the building, and it was demolished in the months after, leaving the weed-filled lot easily seen today from Wagner Ford Road and northbound Interstate 75.
QuikTrip spokeswoman Aisha Jefferson stated that this location should be home to a new store by next spring. “QuikTrip is currently in the early planning stages of this development,” Jefferson said in response to questions from the Dayton Daily News. “We are excited to consider Dayton, Ohio as a planned location.”
Plans call for the company’s “remote travel center” concept with a larger designed lot and a more “spacious” store, totaling approximately 8,200 square feet, with an expanded QuikTrip kitchen compared to a traditional company store, Jefferson said.
“The QT (QuikTrip) kitchens will feature made fresh-to-order food and drink items. We will also offer grab-and-go freshly crafted sandwiches, salads, and wraps that will occupy your taste buds, or spoil yourself with our scrumptious donuts and pastries,” Jefferson added. “We hope to have this location open by spring of 2025.”
Ohio’s First QuikTrip Store Now Open in Dayton
Ohio’s first QuikTrip store is already open in Dayton’s Edgemont neighborhood, adding another fueling station and convenience store to an area that is already a popular place for travelers to stop. The new store is at 2121 S. Edwin C. Moses Blvd., near the intersection of Cincinnati Street, immediately west of I-75. BP and Wendy’s are across the street, and an abandoned Burger King is next door. Love’s Travel Stop is close by.
This new QuikTrip store is about 8,300 square feet, according to Dayton building permit documents. By comparison, the nearby Love’s facility is about 7,850 square feet, and most of the new Sheetz stores opening locally are about 6,100 square feet.
Conclusion
QuikTrip’s expansion continues to make waves, with new locations opening soon in Excelsior Springs and Harrison Township. The company’s growth not only promises enhanced convenience for travelers and residents but also signals significant investments in local infrastructure and community development. Whether you’re a local resident or a traveler, QuikTrip’s new stores will provide a reliable stop for all your needs. Stay tuned for more updates as these projects progress and get ready to enjoy the new QuikTrip locations.
