Fort Worth: Texas Motor Speedway

[itsjrd1964]

7-Eleven has been named the official convenience store of Texas Motor Speedway. As a result, a new 5000 square foot 7-Eleven has opened as of late last month at TMS. No gas pumps will be available there. It is on Lone Star Circle just outside of Turn 3 and near the north tunnel entrance to the infield. The store is twice the size as a conventional 7-Eleven location, according to the article.

Should be very interesting at TMS for retail competition, with now-2 7-Elevens (the other is about a mile east on TX 114), a new QT, a Buc-ee's, as well as a couple of existing smaller convenience stores, all at that corner. They'll do well on race weekends, but day-to-day may be another story.

I would almost guarantee that it will only be open for race weekends. The location is too obscure to get anything but race weekend traffic.

There is a new GM at TMS, and he has big plans for the complex.

...The speedway will always be about fast cars, of course, but Ramage believes Fort Worth’s asphalt kingdom could do more. Lux hotels, a waterpark, commercial office space, retail space, product testing centers, and proving grounds—they’re all developments Ramage is considering for the TMS’ campus.

They should change the name to Fort Worth Motor Speedway.
