QuikTrip opened a new travel center in Monahans, Texas, on Thursday in the Permian Basin oil region of West Texas. The Tulsa, Oklahoma-based convenience-store retailer now operates 272 locations in the Lone Star State.
The location, 1907 S. Stockton Ave., is directly off Interstate 20 at exit 80 and offers service for 16 cars and six diesel bays for trucks.
“We are excited to continue bringing QuikTrip’s signature commitment to quality and efficient service to Monahans,” said QuikTrip Corporate Communications Manager Aisha Jefferson. “Our travel center model will offer a clean and friendly stop for the many travelers and workers driving throughout the Permian Basin as well as local residents in the area.”
The store features a full-service kitchen with fresh, made-to-order meals, grab-and-go options including QuikTrip’s signature pizza by the slice and roller grill items. The travel center is larger than traditional QuikTrip stores and brings approximately two dozen new jobs to the area, the company said.
QuikTrip isn’t only eyeing expansion of its travel centers in the South. Last month the convenience-store chain opened a travel center in Rockford, Illinois, off Interstate 90.
