MIDLOTHIAN, TX-QuikTrip Corp. has acquired a 316,000-square-foot distribution center that will serve 85 regional stores and an additional 15 that the company plans to open over the next three years.

Tulsa, OK-based QuikTrip bought the facility located at 4200 Railport Pkwy. from Chicago-based Kehe Food Distributors. The sale price was not disclosed, but local experts say the building sold for more than $10 million; those same experts estimate that the initial development costs for the facility exceeded $25 million.

Kehe Food Distributors built the one-story facility three years ago, but never occupied it. Situated on 48.8 acres, the building has 72-foot ceilings, making it one of the tallest single-story buildings in the state. It also features 40,500 square feet of freezer space, another 40,000 square feet of refrigerated space, 3,500 square feet of office space and 38 truck docks.
