Capps Ranch offers a rare opportunity to develop commercial property at one of the most visible and accessible locations in Gillette. Positioned at the intersection of Garner Lake Road and Interstate 90, this multi-phase development is designed to serve both local demand and steady interstate traffic.
A Strategic Location at Gillette’s Western Entrance
Located at the first westbound exit into Gillette, the site benefits from approximately 10,000 vehicles per day traveling along Interstate 90. This corridor connects regional workforce traffic, long-haul trucking routes, and tourism flow, including visitors heading to events like the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.
Flexible Land Use Designed for Development
Capps Ranch spans approximately 255 acres with parcel sizes ranging from 2 to 20 acres. The development is designed for flexibility, allowing adjusted lot lines and a wide range of commercial uses.
Key features include:
1. Shovel-ready lots
2. Access to city utilities
3. Flexible zoning for multiple business types
4. Scalable parcel configurations
Anchored by New Growth
The project surrounds a new travel center expected opening May 2026. This anchor development is expected to generate consistent traffic and establish the area as a new commercial node.

Built for Highway-Driven Demand
Capps Ranch is well-suited for businesses that rely on visibility and accessibility, including:
1. Convenience stores and travel services
2. Truck and auto service operations
3. RV and equipment sales
4. Quick-service restaurants and coffee shops
With many existing amenities concentrated closer to Gillette’s city center, this location offers an uncongested alternative directly off the interstate.
A Strategic Opportunity in Gillette’s Growth Corridor
Capps Ranch combines location, flexibility, and infrastructure readiness in one of Gillette’s most strategic growth corridors. For commercial developers and business owners, it represents a scalable opportunity to establish a presence at a primary gateway to the city.
Whether the goal is to launch a new concept, expand an existing business, or invest in a high-traffic commercial corridor, Capps Ranch offers the space and adaptability to make it happen.
