Anyone from Tulsa can tell you and attest to the fact that QT is from Tulsa, and definitely not KC.

Gee I don't remember that being in question just local and I consider if there is a store in a town , then they are local in that town but of course not from there originally or owned[]

I thought the same thing.  There are quite a few QT's in the KC area.  I remember going up there as a kid to see KC royals games (about 15yrs ago) and there being QT's.  To me that is local.  Just because a company isn't headquartered in that city doesnt mean they arent local? They have a regional office there, and also a huge warehouse in Missouri on the way to KC.

The advantage that the KC arena has over the BOK center are the businesses that lure people to the site even when their arena is not in use. The Power and Light district was a great move to help propel the traffic. Another thing about the Power and Light district is that it seems to have unique shops....unlike the dime-a-dozen, waste-of-land developments found all over town that seem to have the same ol' retail shops, just conveniently placed at different locations (i.e. The Tulsa Hills).

Being on the road all the time, I love Quick Trip.  Great coffee and clean bathrooms.

The HQ is in Tulsa, but they have more stores in Kansas City, make more money in KC and are the largest gas retailer there.

Excellent. That means more profits coming from KC that can go to Tulsa.  [8D]

KC is a much larger metro area and they have 17 more stores, not a huge leap. Not to mention, QT is likely the largest retailer here. All he said is that they were from Tulsa. Parking meters are from Stillwater, but I'm sure they make more money in NYC.

The HQ location was never in question. An earlier post stated that QT was "not even local" to the KC area. I have to also argue that isn't entirely correct.  They are a huge presence there and have one of the regional offices there, have been there for over 30 years, and employ many people there.
