Can Kwik Trip/Kwik Star Become The Next Love's And Compete?

And there products are high quality too. As you know they have their own plants in La Crosse.

I always buy the coffee creamer. Never tasted anything like it.

 

I think Kwik Trip/Star is pretty much perfect the way it is. I live and drive exclusively in Iowa, so naturally I use them a lot. They always have good food, good coffee, and super friendly staff. And, believe it or not, they almost always have open fuel pumps.

Let’s look at Cedar Rapids as an example. At exit 13 we have a small Pilot, always a cluster ####. Fuel islands are always clogged with riffraff. It’s dirty and full of trash. Right across the highway is a small kwik star, and they usually are only busy around lunch time. There are also a few other kwik stars in the area with no parking that I will use if that one is too busy.

I say Kwik star is a gem, leave it the way it is. Let the mega carriers have their mega truck stops. They can camp out in the fuel islands there all they want. The rest of us who like get our fuel and our food and get back to work will use the nice kwik stars.

 

They did, then sold it to Alon in 2010, and now Alon has sold it to a renewables company.
