A leading convenience store and gas station chain is set to enter the Austin market.

Tulsa, Oklahoma-based QuikTrip—which operates more than 700 stores in 11 states—will launch a planned 100-plus stores in the Austin and San Antonio areas beginning in summer 2018, according to a news release.

“We’ve heard from a number of enthusiastic QT fans in San Antonio and Austin familiar with us from their travels, urging us to expand there,” QuikTrip CEO Chet Cadieux said. “Both San Antonio and Austin are really hot markets right now, and we cannot wait to join the exciting landscape in those two great communities."

The company has been operating in the Dallas-Fort Worth area since 1999 and operates 134 stores there.

QuikTrip features in-store kitchens serving made-to-order food, such as pizza, breakfast burritos and toasted sandwiches as well as such desserts as soft-serve ice cream and milkshakes.
