Circle K #2741253 in El Paso, TX

A partial interior remodel of an existing Circle K convenience store at 2210 Joe Battle Blvd. in El Paso is registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) under the project name Circle K #2741253. The renovation covers 3,796 square feet of space, with an estimated cost of $250,000. This places the project's total cost above the median estimated cost of $204,300 for similar renovation and alteration filings in El Paso County.

The scope of work includes limited interior demolition and construction, specifically the installation of a new partition wall, millwork, paint, equipment, and signage. Exterior work is limited to the relocation of a CO2 tank. The project is privately funded on private land for private use, with Mark Tate listed as the owner of record. PDMS Design Group is the design firm of record for the project.

Timeline and Status

TDLR completed plan review in August 2025, and construction was scheduled to begin in October 2025 with a completion date of December 2025. The scheduled build window of 50 days is shorter than the county median of 120 days for similar projects. Despite the completion date passing, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.

The cost per square foot for this renovation is $66, which is close to the county median of $66 for renovation and alteration projects. Jeffrey A Gutknecht is the registered accessibility specialist for the project. The work is classified as a Renovation/Alteration, focusing on updating the interior layout and systems of the existing convenience store.
