The store on 11th Street near TU had a reputation for having higher prices than their other locations to take advantage of the TU students.

Is the new QT at 15th & Denver open? It was hard to tell but it looked like the old store had its windows covered.

[Kenosha]

Yep, that's correct.  There was a QT in the Walnut Creek II shopping center on the west side of Harvard at 81st.  It was the end cap building closest to the Shell station which is on the corner.  There also used to be one in Utica Square, I think it's a Chico's fashion store now, just to the east of Olive Garden.  Those were two or four pump stores. 

Ahhhh... QT 21.

Saturday Night, 1988.  It was the place to find out where the good parties were.

Same was true in 1979-81.

Yep before school every morning and Friday & Saturday nights.  My run was fall '81 through the summer of '84.

Anyone remember G-g-g-g-g-g-Gerald the clerk?  Black guy, Jerry curls, stuttered, funnier than smile.  He was one of QT's best ever.

How about being chased by "The Squirrel"?

It is open, or so I've heard. Look forward to giving it a try tonight.

It was open this morning when I went in for breakfast - but no gas until mid-July.  My only complaint is that QuikTrip stores are so standardized, figuring out where everything was in an entirely new design took a bit longer than i anticipated.    I think my favorite part will be the multiple entrances.  Felt less crowded for sure - but that could be due to no gas being sold.

Just came across this article and thought I would toss it out here

I am in Kansas twice a week and I always stop at QT! I love them,all we have here in OKC is 7-11 or OnCue!There is such a good selection of pop,beer and munchies at QT vs. 7-11,its almost a joke comparing the two!

I hit that a little later. . .86.  Still the place to start your Friday night.  Almost never ID'd for beer.  Sometimes when they did, they didn't actually READ your ID.  .

I drive by that spot all the time and can't believe how small QTs used to be.

Great company there, something for Tulsa to be proud of.

I think they are trying markets on the west coast now. Wouldn't surprise me if someday they were the standard convenience store of the Western Hemisphere.

I love how what began as a gentlemans agreement between Chester and whomever the f--- runs convenience stores in OKC was originally done out of respect, yet for the last couple of decades has made Tulsa 1000x as awesome as the poo-hole down the pike.

It ought to be.

Tulsa will become the Bentonville of tomorrow.
