QuikTrip #864 Exterior Refresh Project in Watauga, TX

QuikTrip # 864 is undergoing a $230,000 renovation at 7500 Denton Hwy in Watauga, Texas. The project, filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) under the name "QuikTrip #864 Exterior Refresh Project," involves a 700 sq ft scope of work focused on the building's front entrance. This specific alteration includes new signage, a new canopy, and updated plater finish.

The construction timeline is compressed, with a scheduled start in November 2026 and completion targeted for December 2026. This seven-day build window is significantly shorter than the 92-day median scheduled build window for similar renovation and alteration filings in Tarrant County. The project was registered with TDLR in October 2026, and plan review is pending.
