QuikTrip #4639

QuikTrip #4639 is a new 4,996 sq ft convenience store planned at 21485 FM 1314 in Porter, Texas. The project includes retail gasoline sales and is owned by QT South, LLC. Lickel Architecture serves as the design firm of record. The estimated cost for this build is $750,000, which works out to $150 per square foot.

The project was registered with TDLR in October 2026 with a target completion date of October 2026. However, no plan review or inspection has been recorded since registration. This means the public record does not confirm whether the construction proceeded or if the store is finished. The status remains "Project Registered" without further verification of physical progress.

QT South, LLC is the developer behind this location. The company has six other TDLR-registered projects in the state, including stores in Jarrell, Cleburne, Dallas, Arlington, and Joshua. Each of those other projects has an estimated cost of $850,000. This Porter location is slightly less expensive than those comparable builds, coming in at $750,000.

Lickel Architecture is the design firm of record for this store. The firm has also designed five other TDLR-registered projects, including QuikTrip locations in Pasadena, Tomball, Katy, and Houston. One of those projects, a car wash in Tomball, is listed as review complete. The firm’s involvement in this Porter project is part of a broader portfolio of commercial construction in the region.

The ZIP code 77365 has a population of about 43,025 people, with a median household income of $96,093. The area is predominantly owner-occupied, with a median home value of $261,200. This context helps situate the new convenience store within the local demographic and economic landscape.

Construction Status and Timeline

The filing indicates a construction start date of November 2025 and a completion date of October 2026. The scheduled build window is 330 days, which is longer than the county median of 213 days for similar new construction projects. The estimated cost of $150 per square foot is above the county median of $100 per square foot, suggesting a higher level of finish or specific site conditions.

Local Market Context

QuikTrip is adding this location to its existing network in the area. The store will serve the residents and travelers along FM 1314. The project is privately funded and located on private land. The registration with TDLR ensures that the accessibility requirements for the new facility are tracked, even though the current record does not show completed inspections.
