A new QuikTrip convenience store and fuel station is in the works for 1301 Lee Trevino Drive on El Paso’s East Side, according to city permit records. The planned buildout, pegged at roughly $1.5 million, would bring a new convenience building and fuel canopies to a busy retail strip just off I‑10. The site sits amid car dealerships, restaurants, and service businesses that already cater to east‑side traffic, with Trevino Place I, LLC listed as the property owner and Ryan Egan of Boerne, Texas named as the applicant.
Permit Details and What’s Included
The city permit application, as reported by the El Paso Times, calls for a ground‑up convenience‑store building with fuel sales and assigns the project an estimated value of about $1.5 million. The filing is light on finer points, with no square footage listed and no contractor named so far. It does confirm Trevino Place I, LLC as the owner of record and identifies Egan as the applicant steering the paperwork.
About QuikTrip
QuikTrip, based in Tulsa and founded in 1958, has grown into a major convenience‑store chain with more than 1,000 locations in multiple states, pairing retail offerings with fuel sales, according to QuikTrip. The company has been pushing deeper into the Southwest in recent years and already operates other fueling and retail sites across Texas, so an East El Paso outpost fits the broader expansion playbook.
Where the Site Sits and Neighborhood Context
The property at 1301 Lee Trevino Drive is tucked just off I‑10 and sits across Gateway Boulevard West from a cluster of auto and retail businesses that includes Group 1 Ford and Mattress Liquidators, a setup that gives it strong visibility for drivers, the El Paso Times noted. A listing on Crexi also pegs the address as 1301 Lee Trevino Drive, matching the permit records. If built, the new QuikTrip would join a lineup of existing convenience and fuel options already serving commuters and nearby businesses.
What Happens Next
Right now, the permit filing is just the opening move. The paperwork does not include an expected opening date, and any real‑world timeline will hinge on permit approvals, locking in a contractor, and getting construction on the calendar. For now, locals curious about the project’s future will have to watch city permit records and follow‑up reporting to see if and when the QuikTrip plan rolls forward.
