The construction of a $20-million QuikTrip property in south Kankakee has begun. This investment in Kankakee began almost five years ago with planning, collaboration, engineering, and development efforts between QuikTrip and the City of Kankakee.
The QuikTrip facility will include a 5,400 square foot convenience store, a future QT Kitchen, eight gasoline fuel pumps, four diesel fuel pumps, and is expected to create around 20 to 25 full and part time jobs.
“Bringing a nationally recognized company like QuikTrip to Kankakee demonstrates the strength of our market and the value of long-term economic development planning,” said Barbi Brewer-Watson, Executive Director of the City of Kankakee’s Economic and Community Development Agency.
