Wally's broke ground recently on its first store in Indiana—its largest location to date.

Located in Whitestown, Indiana, at 4227 Perry Worth Road, off Interstate 65, northwest of Indianapolis, the new location will be 53,000 square feet with an opening date scheduled for the fall of 2025, Andy Strom, chief experience officer at Wally’s, told CSP Daily News.

The new location will bring 175 new jobs to Boone County, Strom said. Wally’s Indiana site will have 84 fueling locations, he said.

Wally’s new store in the Hoosier State joins Wally’s other two Midwest stores, which are in Pontiac, Illinois, off of Interstate 55, south of Chicago, and Fenton, Missouri, off of Interstate 44, near St. Louis.

The super travel center brand is also eyeing expansion in other parts of the Midwest. Michael Rubenstein, Wally's president and CEO, told audience members at the annual Midwest Fuel and Convenience Trade Show (M-PACT) in Indianapolis this past April that the company has plans for a fourth location on the east side of Kansas City.
