On Thursday, the company said it will be closing the store on May 3, because of safety concerns and low performance.

QuikTrip said they are closing its pilot concept and talked about what they’re doing to make a “meaningful change.”

A news release from the company stated that QuikTrip monitors performance metrics and expectations for each of its stores. Regarding the safety of customers and employees, after evaluating this location, it did not meet the company’s expectations.
