As one QuikTrip location remains under construction in Longmont, another is hoping to follow suit.
A new proposal aims to build a 6,400-square-foot, eight-fuel pump QuikTrip at 2360 Mountain Brook Drive, just west of Hover Street near Target.
Hit the brakes:
The project faces a regulatory hurdle as it still needs approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission since the site is within 250 feet of a residential zoned lot.
Not to mention, public hearings — every developer’s
nightmaredream — will also be required, though no dates have been announced yet.For the time being, nearby residents can learn more at a virtual neighborhood meeting taking place Nov. 19 at 6 pm. You can find the livestream here.
Filling up:
QuikTrip locations have been spreading rapidly across Colorado since the Tulsa-based chain opened its first store in the state in Firestone in 2022.
Today, there are 33 active QuikTrip sites across Colorado, with more in development.
One is under construction in Longmont on Ken Pratt Blvd and Main St. It’s expected to be completed in March 2027.
Zooming out:
QuikTrip opened its first site in Tulsa, OK in 1958, and has since expanded to include more than 1,200 stores in 23 U.S. states. QT is known for its expansive kitchens with made-to-order food, a fancy cold brew bar, and a wide range of drink options.
