Dear supporters of 'No' to El Rancho QuikTrip #4288,

By now you may have heard the regrettable news that the sale of the First Bank and El Rancho properties to QuikTrip Corporation closed on 2/24/2025. QuikTrip made itself clear that it had no interest in hearing from the community.

While the former owners who contracted with QuikTrip started their own petition in response to ours, asking people to approve their plan to turn El Rancho into an outsized fueling center, our petition with all of your signatures has made it impossible for them to say that this was what the community wanted. On March 1, the signature counts were 1,764 (ours) vs. 183 (theirs). Your nearly 1000 comments further emphasized the overwhelming rejection of the path they had chosen.

We are leaving the petition open for anyone else who wants to add their thoughts. We will provide updates on our website to this and other proposals facing our neighborhood of Evergreen: www.save-el-rancho-campaign.com/dashboard.html

Thank you all again,

The Save El Rancho Campaign
Evergreen, Colorado
