Amarillo’s Convenience Store Boom Continues With RaceTrac

The one thing Amarillo will never have enough of is restaurants, coffee shops, and convenience stores. You'll find one of these on just about every corner in the city. However, when Toot 'n Totum and Pak-A-Sak were the main convenience store choices in the past, that has slowly started to change. Many new convenience stores have opened in the Yellow City over the last few years.

It's time to welcome RaceTrac to the family of Amarillo convenience stores.

According to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, RaceTrac will be building a store in Amarillo at 1805 Lakeside Dr. The project is scheduled to begin in June and be completed by October. The estimated cost of the new RaceTrac is $1.5 million. The store size is 8,702 sq. ft.

We reached out to RaceTrac to try to find out more information about the new store and what it will be bringing to the Amarillo area.

Thank you for reaching out. It is too early in the process to be able to speak to that location at this point. We will reach back out to you when we have information we can share.
