QuikTrip Expands in Tomball with New FM 2920 Location, Bringing Gas, Convenience and Jobs to Growing Harris County Corridor
Tomball drivers along FM 2920 will soon see signs of new development as QuikTrip prepares to break ground on a new convenience store and gas station in Harris County — a move that reflects continued commercial growth in this expanding stretch of Northwest Houston.
QuikTrip #4645, planned for 17907 FM Road 2920, Tomball, TX 77377, is scheduled to begin construction on February 23, 2026, with an anticipated completion date of October 1, 2027. The project carries an estimated construction cost of $750,000 and will include a 4,996-square-foot convenience store with retail gasoline sales.
For residents who live, commute, or run businesses along FM 2920, the addition signals continued investment in infrastructure supporting daily life — from fueling up before work to grabbing coffee during the school drop-off rush.
What the New QuikTrip Means for Tomball
FM 2920 has steadily transformed over the past decade, serving as a key connector between Tomball, Spring, Waller, and other parts of Northwest Harris County. As residential communities expand and traffic volume increases, accessible fuel stations and convenience retailers often follow.
For homeowners nearby, commercial development like this often reflects sustained population growth and increased consumer demand. For commuters, it adds another fueling and quick-stop option along a busy corridor that continues to evolve.

In the Greater Houston area, QuikTrip locations are already established across Harris County and surrounding counties, including stores in Spring, Cypress, Katy, and Houston proper, but this is the first QuikTrip store to enter the Tomball community. The brand has steadily expanded its presence in suburban growth corridors where residential development and traffic patterns support new retail investment.
Tomball itself has seen continued retail and commercial growth over recent years, particularly along major roadways like FM 2920 and SH 249, making it a strategic area for brands looking to serve both long-time residents and new neighborhoods moving in.
Growth Along the FM 2920 Corridor
For Tomball residents, new development projects are chapters in a much larger success story—one defined by rapid residential expansion and massive commercial investment across Northwest Harris County. The transformation of FM 2920 from a rural pass-through to a major economic artery is driven by several key factors:
-
Retail Powerhouses: The 65-acre The Grand at 249 development (at the intersection of SH 99 and Hwy 249) has become a primary commercial magnet, recently adding major brands like Olive Garden, Gringo’s Tex-Mex, and Tony C’s to serve the rising population.
-
Infrastructure Investment: The Texas Department of Transportation is currently planning a major expansion of FM 2920, aimed at widening the road to six lanes with raised medians from Willow Street all the way to I-45 to accommodate surging traffic counts.
-
Residential Demand: Thousands of new homes are coming online in master-planned communities like Sorella (a 248-acre project) and the continued build-out of Amira, bringing a consistent influx of new families to the area.
-
Educational Facilities: To keep up with an enrollment that has climbed past 23,000 students, Tomball ISD recently passed Bond 2025, which includes the construction of a new intermediate school and a second Pre-K center to support this specific growth corridor.
Convenience stores and fuel stations are the natural "first responders" to this growth; they follow rooftops to meet the demand for accessible services close to home. While a single store may seem like a minor addition, it represents a strategic bet on Tomball’s long-term trajectory and the continued shift of Houston's economic center toward the Northwest.

As Tomball continues to grow, projects like QuikTrip #4645 highlight how national brands are responding to local demand — investing in infrastructure that supports everyday routines.
