QuikTrip expands in El Paso with new travel center on East Side

QuikTrip, a leading convenience and gasoline retailer, opened a new travel center in El Paso.

The business opened Thursday, June 27, and is located at 10300 Gateway Blvd. East, off Interstate 10 at Eastlake Boulevard; the travel center offers room at the pumps for 24 cars and six diesel bays for semitrucks with trailers, according to a release from the company.

"We are excited to continue bringing QuikTrip's signature commitment to quality and efficient service to El Paso," said QuikTrip Corporate Communications Manager Aisha Jefferson. "Our travel center model will offer a clean and friendly stop for the many travelers driving along Interstate 10 and residents in the area."

This El Paso location is part of QT's broader initiative to serve customers along major highways in West Texas. Earlier this year, QT opened travel centers on Interstate 20 in Monahans and Interstate 40 in Amarillo.

The new location will create around two dozen jobs, with applications accepted online at www.quiktrip.com/store-jobs/.

The travel center includes full-service QT Kitchens, which offers freshly prepared grab-and-go items and custom-made menu favorites like pretzels, breakfast tacos, BBQ sandwiches and cold-brew coffee.
