QuikTrip #966 Fryer Project

QuikTrip #966 at 2301 N HWY 377 in Westlake underwent a focused renovation to reorganize its kitchen equipment and add new fryer units. This project, filed as the QuikTrip #966 Fryer Project, involved a 300 sq ft alteration with an estimated cost of $125,000. The work was privately funded on private land for private use, executed by owner of record QT South, LLC.

The construction timeline was notably compact. Plans were registered with TDLR in November 2025, and plan review was completed in December 2025. Construction began in January 2026, with a scheduled completion date of February 2026. This 15-day build window is shorter than the 92-day median scheduled build window for renovation and alteration projects in Tarrant County.

While the total project cost of $125,000 sits in the bottom quarter of the county median for similar filings, the cost per square foot was significantly higher than the regional norm. At $417 per sq ft, this figure is above the county median of $79 per sq ft. This discrepancy reflects the specialized nature of commercial kitchen equipment installation compared to general interior renovations.

Daniel D. Filuk, Architect served as the design firm of record for this project. The firm has registered six other TDLR projects totaling $3.41 million, including locations in Dallas, Fort Worth, and Roanoke. Mary Rae Davies was the registered accessibility specialist. The project passed its final inspection in March 2026, confirming that the work met the required standards before the record was finalized.

TDLR closed the project file in August 2026, which marks the end of the accessibility review process for this construction. The status is now listed as Project Closed. This conclusion follows a standard regulatory sequence where the physical work is inspected, approved, and the administrative file is archived. The project is part of a broader portfolio for QT South, LLC, which has six other registered projects totaling $3.16 million across Texas.
