Popular Convenience Store Looking to Expand in Upstate New York

A convenience store chain is planning a major expansion in Upstate New York, with as many as eight new locations.

New Yorkers have plenty of options when it comes to convenience stores, but the choices often depend on where you live since some chains don't operate statewide.

7-Eleven, Speedway, Bolla Market, and Cumberland Farms are some of the biggest chains operating stores across New York. In the Hudson Valley region, there are a bunch of Stewart's Shops, Chestnut Markets, Flory's, and QuickChek to choose from.

Not all parts of the state have the same options, but now it appears that one of the bigger names is looking to expand into parts of Upstate New York, giving customers more options.

QuickChek Planning to Expand Into Upstate New York

The New Jersey-based convenience store QuickChek has announced plans to expand, possibly opening eight new locations in New York's Capital Region. According to WTEN, QuickChek has submitted plans to open 8 new stores in the future and currently has two approvals, for a store on Wolf Road in Colonie, NY, and another on Hoosick Road in Brunswick, NY.

"We are excited to bring QuickChek to New York’s Capital Region and look forward to serving delicious subs and freshly-brewed coffee to its communities," a representative for the company told News 10.

The proposed locations would also include three additional stores in Colonie, along with locations in Latham, Halfmoon, and Clifton Park, NY.

QuickChek, which sells gas, coffee, snacks, ready-made and made-to-order food, and more, has more than 150 locations in New York and New Jersey, including numerous locations in Ulster and Orange County, NY.

QuickChek Coming to Dutchess County, NY?

Currently, there aren't any QuickChek locations in Dutchess County, but if the Capital Region expansion is successful, there's always a chance the chain could look further south toward areas like Poughkeepsie, Wappingers Falls, or Fishkill.
