Toot 'N Totum has submitted a site plan for a new store located at 4402 4th St in Lubbock. The City of Lubbock Office of Building Safety Site Plan Committee is scheduled to review the proposal on October 9, 2026.

Why it matters

This site review represents a continued expansion for the Amarillo-founded convenience store chain, which began establishing its presence in the Lubbock market in 2022.

Toot 'N Totum has already opened more than 10 locations in Lubbock since entering the market in 2022. The proposed facility is slated for 4402 4th St.

The players

Toot 'N Totum

This convenience store chain operates numerous locations across the Southern Plains including New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Kansas.

City of Lubbock Office of Building Safety Site Plan Committee

This municipal body is responsible for reviewing proposed site plans to ensure compliance with city development standards.

The details

The convenience store chain, which originated in Amarillo in 1951, has grown to include operations in New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Kansas. The company submitted the formal site plan for municipal review by the Lubbock committee.

Timeline

  1. The first store opened in Amarillo in 1951.

  2. The company began its expansion into Lubbock in 2022.

  3. The Lubbock committee will review the site agenda on October 9, 2026.

Market Landscape

The proposed store continues a regional growth strategy initiated with the 2022 Toot 'N Totum entry into the Lubbock market. This development reinforces the company's efforts to increase its local footprint against established convenience retail competitors.

Residents in the vicinity of 4th St can anticipate increased convenience retail options if the site plan receives municipal approval. The project may eventually lead to new local employment opportunities once construction and staffing phases begin.

The takeaway

The chain's continued expansion suggests a stable demand for their service model in the Lubbock area. Residents should monitor future public agendas for official approval status and project milestones.
