The longtime QuikTrip at Kellogg and 143rd East finally has a closing date: May 29.

The store was supposed to close months ago because of construction coming to East Kellogg, but it kept getting extensions to remain open.

QuikTrip has been working with the Department of Transportation in the hopes of keeping the store open right up until construction starts.

The Tulsa chain plans to replace the store, but it’s not sharing details yet.

“At this time, we’re actively exploring various options for relocation but aren’t ready to confirm specifics,” wrote spokeswoman Aisha Jefferson in an e-mail.

“We’re considering multiple areas, including but not limited to Kellogg. As for the timeline, we’re working diligently to ensure a smooth transition and will share updates as soon as we have more concrete information.”

It’s not likely to be a quick transition to new space.

For instance, in discussing a new store the company plans on the west side, at the southeast corner of Kellogg and 135th West, the chain previously said construction would take approximately eight months once it started.

The process to acquire land and get appropriate permitting takes time, too.

While all that happens with a potential new east-side store, Jefferson wrote that QuikTrip “will miss our customers and the community here.”
