Roller bites, chicken sandwiches, Angus beef burgers, f’reals and the best chocolate milk you’ve ever had. This is just some of the delicious food you can get at Kwik Trip.
Customers can get everything from candy and soda to donuts and muffins or milk and bananas at any Kwik Trip store. Their in-house dairy and internal bakery make some of the items for sale. If you want a “hot spot” item that is currently out, you can simply ask and they will make a fresh one.
Kwik Trip is not only known in our town as the most popular convenience store but in all of Wisconsin. This title is well earned as everything in the store is high quality and affordable. In 2018, Kwik Trip was honored as the 2018 Convenience Store Chain of the Year by Convenience Store Decisions.
There are more than 700 stores spread across three states, almost 400 of which are right here in Wisconsin. Trevor Paulson, a student at Stevens Point Area Senior High (SPASH), said, “You literally can’t drive five minutes without passing one.”
Kwik Trips are also very clean. Lauren Pliska, an employee, said, “We spend lots of time each day cleaning counters, floors and equipment.”
The stores have a very friendly staff that know how to help you.
A Kwik Rewards credit card provides all kinds of deals. The first thing is 10 percent off purchases in-store. The second is every 10 times you buy something at Kwik Trip you can get a Big Buddy fountain drink, a chicken sandwich or many other items for free.
With Kwik Trip being such a popular place in Wisconsin and there being one only a few minutes away from SPASH they get a big lunch rush on most days. “We always make sure we have extra ‘hot spot’ items ready and more workers on during those times,” Pliska said.

I really enjoyed how factual your piece was. I really don’t go to Kwik Trip that much but after you mention all of the services they offered it made me really want to go there more.

I love kwik trip and always go there for food and gas. I didn’t know that Wisconsin has about 400 of the 700 kwik trips available.

The Kwik Trip rewards system is really nice, especially if you hop often. The small facts you used such as how many stores there are in Wisconsin really gives you a different view of the franchise.

Is it bad that the first line immediately made me think of quick trip when coupled with the title? I shouldn’t be surprised as I’ve visited the Kwik Trips a fair bit and I also know that plover has the highest number of Kwik Trips per capata in Wisconsin.

I didn’t know that Wisconsin has more than half of the Kwik Trips in the USA. I would have thought they were everywhere.

I love Kwik Trip. It’s the number one place I go when I either need something to eat or drink. After reading this, I know that there are more options for me to choose from the next time I go.
