QT celebrates milestone with new Morrow location and sustained nationwide growth

QuikTrip, will open its 1,200th store on Thursday, Feb. 12, at 6459 Jonesboro Rd. in Morrow, Ga., underscoring the company’s long-term commitment to metro Atlanta and continued growth across the country.

Conveniently located just north of Interstate 75, the Morrow store will be the 181st QuikTrip in Georgia, one of the company’s most important and fastest-growing markets. Founded in Tulsa, Okla., in 1958, QuikTrip first entered Georgia in 1986 and has steadily expanded its footprint across the state, with additional locations under construction in Acworth, Union City and Watkinsville.

Nationally, QuikTrip has more than 80 new stores scheduled to open in 2026, reflecting a disciplined growth strategy built on operational consistency, employee retention, and strong customer demand.

“The Atlanta metro area and the state of Georgia have been incredibly important to QuikTrip for nearly 40 years,” said QuikTrip Atlanta Director of Operations Robert Smith. “Reaching our 1,200th store is a milestone that reflects the strength of our business model – one built on taking care of employees, earning customer trust, and showing up consistently for the communities we serve. That approach continues to drive our growth here in Georgia and across the country.”

QuikTrip’s newest locations feature QT Kitchens, the company’s signature foodservice offering, with a wide selection of grab-and-go meals and made-to-order options. Customers can also enjoy QuikTrip’s industry-leading coffee program, offering 12 varieties, including hot and iced lattes made with real milk and freshly ground coffee beans.

Each new store creates approximately two dozen local jobs, with competitive pay, tuition reimbursement, medical coverage, and comprehensive 401(k) benefits. QuikTrip continues to receive national recognition as a top employer, reflecting a culture focused on employee development and long-term career opportunities.

Beyond store operations, QuikTrip maintains a deep commitment to the communities where it operates, donating 5 percent of its annual net profits to charitable organizations. In metro Atlanta, that includes a recent $3 million investment in the Atlanta Police Foundation to support the expansion of At-Promise Centers, which focus on youth development, prevention, and long-term community stability. QuikTrip also made a significant contribution to support the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, which is used by first responders from across the region.

Additionally, QT supports organizations like Hope Atlanta, Atlanta Mission, and St. Vincent de Paul Georgia in their efforts to reduce homelessness and youth violence.

The company views these efforts as closely aligned with its mission to create safe, welcoming environments for employees and customers alike.

With 1,200 stores across 21 states and more than 32,000 employees nationwide, QuikTrip continues to grow by pairing operational excellence with sustained investment in people and communities.
