QuikTrip closing its Midtown Atlanta gas-less store in May

Midtown Atlanta's gas-less QuikTrip will shut its doors for good next month.

The QuikTrip on Peachtree Street opened eight years ago and was the chain's first non-gas location.

The company confirmed with FOX 5 that they will permanently close the pilot location on May 3.

In a statement, a spokesperson for the company cited employee and customer safety as part of the metrics they evaluated before deciding to close the store.

"While we will end our non-gas pilot in Midtown, QT is more committed to Atlanta than ever," the spokesperson said.

The company said it is working to identify a new location for a full-service QuikTrip that will be open in the next two to three years.
