DALLAS - QuikTrip is pushing to gain market share in North Texas and is finalizing the purchase of a distribution building in Midlothian, the Dallas Business Journal reports.

QuikTrip spokesperson Mike Thornbrugh confimred that the area is one of the company's top growth markets. It entered the Dallas-Forth Worth market about 10 years ago and currently operates 76 stores there, with three more under construction. It plans to open up to 10 stores a year in North Texas for the next 10 years, Thornbrugh said.

"The opportunity for us to have tremendous growth (in North Texas) in terms of store count and additional employees is phenomenal," Thornbrugh said. "When you reach that critical mass, where people know who you are, you become a destination for those who are out of gas, those who are thirsty and those who are hungry."
