In the past two years the market has seen 7-Eleven sell to the national 7-Eleven operator, an aggressive expansion of Casey’s General Stores that included new construction and the purchase of Circle K stores, and most recently plans by QuikTrip to open two travel centers at Interstate 35 and Hefner Road and along I-35 in Moore.īoth of the new OnCue sites were once subject to some controversy. Preservationists protested when a Dallas development group destroyed the former Founders National Bank building at 5613 N May. The demolition came as a surprise with crews starting tear down the same morning the demolition permit was filed at City Hall. The football-shaped structure, built in 1964, was anchored by two 50-foot exterior arches and was a part of an area once home to several of the city’s most notable examples of mid-century architecture, including Founders Tower. The area is referred to as the Founders district. OnCue purchased the property one year after the demolition. In a 2020 interview with The Oklahoman, Jim Griffth, CEO of OnCue, said the company had no involvement in the demolition. “We had absolutely no interest in tearing the property down.” “We got a flyer from Mark Inman with CBRE - the building was already torn down,” Griffith said. The station at NW 13 and Western was protested by preservationists over concerns three historic homes on the corner would be destroyed to make way for the station. OnCue tore down another home deemed to be beyond repair and assisted in selling and helping move the third home to an empty lot near the Plaza District. The company also addressed traffic concerns by agreeing to help pay for changes to the intersection. The building permit shows the company is working with the city to remove a one-lane southbound slip lane along Western Avenue that currently intersects with Classen Boulevard and NW 13. The resulting intersection will result in a more traditional four-way signalized intersection at the entrance to the new station.

Oncue plans to use the funding to scale nationwide and grow their engineering, product, sales, marketing, and customer success teams. The COVID pandemic dramatically accelerated the already rapid growth rate of the moving industry in 2020, with no signs of slowing. “Nearly 40 million Americans move each year, and since COVID, nearly half of all Americans report that they are considering moving," said Kate DeWald, Oncue’s CEO and co-founder.
The number of remote employees is soaring, and more families and businesses are migrating outside of major cities to find affordable housing and operations, driving a record number of relocations throughout the last year. As a result, there has been a surge in new moving companies launching and existing companies expanding their fleets and opening additional branches. This is stretching many moving companies beyond their limits, as they try to juggle sales calls, lead conversion, logistics, operations, and customer support.
