USA: QuikTrip opens its first travel center in Louisiana

QT has several sites currently under construction, including another Louisiana location.

QuikTrip, a leading convenience and gasoline retailer, is opening a new remote travel center in Shreveport, the company’s first QT location in Louisiana.

According to QT, planning is underway for future Travel Center locations, and several sites are currently under construction, including another Louisiana location in Bossier City this Fall.

The Travel Center in Shreveport features a larger designed lot and more spacious store than a traditional QT. It has room to service 20 cars for gas and six diesel bays for trucks.

QT’s new store model is created specifically for highly traveled areas of the country that are also within a reasonable proximity to a QT Distribution Center for access to fresh food.

QuikTrip Corporation is a privately held company headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Founded in 1958, QuikTrip has grown to a more than $11 billion company with 850+ stores in 11 states in the Southwest, Midwest and Southeast.
