BJs Wholesale Club #264 Retail Gas Station

BJs Wholesale Club is building a new 8,400-square-foot retail gas station at 1021 Ikea Way in Grand Prairie. The project involves the installation of a new fueling facility with an employee-only attendant kiosk, overhead canopy, and underground storage tanks. The estimated cost for this new construction is $950,000, which calculates to $113 per square foot.

The design firm of record is Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. This project is part of a broader effort by BJs Wholesale Club, which has two other TDLR-registered gas station projects in Forney and Fort Worth, each with the same estimated cost of $950,000. Stantec has also designed several other projects in Texas, ranging from small subdivisions to large waste management facilities.

TDLR completed the plan review in March 2025. Construction was scheduled to begin in September 2025, with a planned completion date of February 2026. Despite this scheduled timeline, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection. Therefore, the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record, and it is not established that the facility is open or operating.

The surrounding area includes several other commercial establishments, such as a Potbelly Sandwich Shop, a QuikTrip, and a Sam's Club. The ZIP code 75052 has a population of about 95,485, with a median household income of $87,320 according to U.S. Census estimates.

This project's cost is close to the county median for new construction filings. The scheduled build window of 166 days is shorter than the county median of 243 days. The cost per square foot is also close to the county median of $125. These figures place the project within the typical range for similar developments in the region.

Project Status and Details

The project is privately funded and located on private land for private use. The registered accessibility specialist for this project is Richard Todd Lozano. The scope of work includes all associated fuel system equipment, ensuring the facility meets necessary standards for operation.

While the construction was expected to finish in early 2026, the lack of a final inspection record means the project's completion status remains unverified in the public TDLR data. Readers should note that construction status and business opening are distinct, and the record does not confirm that the gas station is serving customers.
