Another QuikTrip is coming to Blue Springs, but it’s not one of the popular prototypes the company is experimenting with.
By all accounts, the new station at Missouri 7 and Shaw Parkway is one of the more basic QuikTrip stations – much like the other three that operate in the city.
“It’ll be one of your basic QuikTrips,” Scott Allen, director of Community Development, said Monday.
“Basic” as in approximately 4,500 square feet, eight fuel islands (16 total pumps); interior sales will include prepared food and alcohol selections; and architecture will be traditional, too.
The building will be located in the former Sinclair Service building.
Commission member Mark Trosen asked if the new facility will be similar to the QuikTrip in Independence, on U.S. 24, which has dual access (to help eliminate foot traffic through one door) and more “aesthetically pleasing architecture.”
A spokesperson for the company said that only four of those types of buildings exist in the company’s operating corridor: three in Oklahoma and the one in Independence.
The newest building in Blue Springs will not be one of them, she said, because of the size of the lot will not accommodate it and the fact that the prototype, called Generation Three, costs about $1 million more than the traditional buildings.
