QuikTrip is planning a new location at the intersection of 15th Street and Lewis Avenue.

The Tulsa-based convenience store chain confirmed that it purchased the property on the southeast corner of the intersection, which currently is a Bill & Ruth’s sandwich shop.

QT spokesman Mike Thornbrugh said the plan is to also purchase the Duffy’s restaurant property next door and then build a QuikTrip Generation 3 store.

He said the location fits into the company’s master plan as an under-represented area.

The closest QuikTrip to the proposed location is at 11th Street and Utica Avenue. The Lewis location will allow for the company to capture more highway traffic in the area, Thornbrugh said.

The company has no set time frame for construction.

Once the property purchases are complete, Quiktrip will give the current occupants time to find new locations and get re-established before it starts building.
