Developer plans for a new 2,817-square-foot Murphy USA location at 10101 FM 1472 are set to begin on Aug. 16, 2027. This project will serve as the fifth Murphy USA site in the Laredo area.
Why it matters
The development represents a continued expansion of the brand's presence in Laredo. The project reflects private investment in new infrastructure along the Mines Road corridor.
The new facility is estimated to cost $1.1 million to construct across a 2,817-square-foot footprint. This adds to the existing four Murphy USA locations already operating within Laredo.
