Cypress Development Partners announced Wednesday that a new QuikTrip gas station and convenience store is coming to Columbia.

The 5,000-square-foot facility is expected to open in early October and will include eight fuel pumps. It will be located at 4680 Fort Jackson Blvd., near Interstate 77 and the Kings Grant, Lake Katherine and Heathwood neighborhoods.

The Atlanta-based CBI General Contractors will build the station, which is expected to exceed $5 million.

Mark James, the principal of the Columbia-based Cypress, which is assisting in the development, said QuikTrip is considered a “best in class” company with friendly customer service and well maintained facilities.
