QuickChek

QuickChek is a convenience store and fuel retailer with a strong presence in New Jersey and New York. The company was founded in 1967 by the Durling family, starting as a single store in Dunellen, New Jersey. Over the following decades, QuickChek grew steadily, becoming known throughout the region for its fresh food options and customer-focused service. By the late 1980s, it had established itself as a familiar name in the Northeast, particularly for its made-to-order subs and commitment to convenience.

A major milestone in QuickChek’s history occurred in January 2021, when the company was acquired by Murphy USA Inc. for $645 million. This transition provided QuickChek with additional resources and a broader platform for expansion, while allowing it to maintain its headquarters in Whitehouse Station, New Jersey and continue operating under its own brand.

As of November 2025, QuickChek operates approximately 160 stores, primarily concentrated in New Jersey and the Hudson Valley region of New York. The company’s locations typically combine convenience retail, fresh foodservice, and fuel, serving both commuters and local residents. In recent years, QuickChek has focused on selective growth, targeting new builds and strategic infill sites within its core markets. The brand has also invested in remodeling existing stores and upgrading technology to improve both customer experience and operational efficiency.

QuickChek’s approach to expansion and modernization, supported by the resources of Murphy USA, has positioned it as a credible and flexible tenant for a variety of commercial real estate projects. Its ongoing investment in store development and upgrades reflects a commitment to long-term growth and adaptability in a competitive retail landscape.
