A RaceTrac with truck fueling is coming to US 640 in south Bartow
Where it is. In south Bartow.
A new RaceTrac convenience store and truck-fueling stop is planned on US Highway 640 in south Bartow.
Plans filed with Polk County describe a RaceTrac on US Highway 640 in south Bartow: a convenience market of about 6,000 to 6,100 square feet, 16 car fueling pumps, a separate truck fueling area to the rear with diesel pumps, and a stormwater pond with associated infrastructure.
The county's non-residential site plan review is complete, and building permits were filed in late 2025 for the fuel canopy, a truck fueling canopy, underground tanks and a dumpster enclosure. A zoning sign-off for a beer-and-wine (2APS) license has closed. As of February 2026, the county was reviewing the project's surety, a bond that guarantees required site infrastructure gets finished.
Exact opening plans are not yet public.
