Two new QuikTrips are being proposed along Lemay Ferry Road in South County, just two miles apart, and the existing Lemay Ferry QT would close.
The St. Louis County Planning Commission voted unanimously 7-0 last week to recommend approval of a new QuikTrip gas station at the corner of Lemay Ferry and South Lindbergh Boulevard, across from South County Center mall, at the site of an existing auto repair shop. The large redevelopment will also take out the existing St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store and The Watering Bowl, a daycare for dogs located behind the auto repair shop.
A second QuikTrip is also now proposed at the intersection of Lemay Ferry and Butler Hill Road at 5040 Lemay Ferry Road, the historic Session building, which previously was known as the Kassebaum building.
An open house and informational meeting will take place at 6 p.m. tonight, Monday, March 15, about a proposed QuikTrip Convenience Store in South County.
The QuikTrip is proposed at the intersection of Lemay Ferry and Butler Hill Road, 5040 Lemay Ferry Road, currently the site of the historic Session building, also previously known as the Kassebaum building.
The open house is scheduled for Monday from 6 to 8 pm. in the JcPenny Home Store in Marshalls Plaza, 6933 Lindbergh Blvd. A presentation about the store will begin at 6:30 pm.
Face coverings will be required and social distancing practices will be in place.
