Pilot St Cloud Minnesota

Minooka is better since they opened the one at 112 Morris. Might find parking there more often, now.

St. Cloud was just converted from a Holiday about 10 years ago, and other Holidays came later and were changed back. The Road Ranger merge took farther south and east. Kwik Trips are small but numerous in MN.

I haven't stopped at St.Cloud since 2005.

And St. Cloud is probably named for a cloud of mosquitoes.

 

Midwest has it's regional chains, like Kwik Trip in MN and WI and based out of LaCrosse(Star in Iowa only), Casey's General Stores, Kum and Go, QuikStop, and the FS one which came from Farm Service. Any of these can have showers, I guess, although have never seen showers at Kum and Go

One iKwik Trip in particular, the one at exit 279 I-90 in Austin, MN has 3 showers, and a smallish drivers lounge with an outdoor deck. The old building which once housed Watts Cooking is now gone. The Cat Scale is the only thing left original.

 

Minooka was bad, worse than it is now, because of company fueling solutions, and the outlet at Morris across IL47 from the Costco Distribution Center has helped that, and that one is better planned for getting fuel and leaving if that is what you want. If you don't require Pilot coffee and to be able to use your Pilot points, the Road Ranger/Pilots take off some of the traffic, too

I've noticed fuel at the Morris location is a little more in line there with the TA for posted prices. I'm guessing that Minooka may get worse again because of that.

The outlet in NJ I like the best is the J at Carney, which I never see anymore. That little Pilot that was next door is tiny and hard to access, too.
