QuikTrip Corporation has announced plans to build a new travel center at the southwest corner of South Gardner Road and West 188th Street. This will be QT’s second location in Gardner, but first travel center in the area. “The location is a perfect fit for the expansion of our Travel Center Network,” said Jeremy Crosby, Real Estate Manager for QuikTrip. “We hope to have the store open by Spring or Summer 2021.”

“We have a stellar relationship with QuikTrip, and we are thrilled they have chosen to extend their services to the south end of Gardner,” Gardner Mayor Steve Shute said. “QuikTrip is at the heart of the city and an asset to our community. If we measured the success of the second location based on the first, we expect QuikTrip to continue to thrive, offering its massive array of products and top-notch customer service.”
