Work recently began on the construction of a new generation three Kwik Star right by the South Sixth Street location in Marshalltown. On Thursday, workers moved dirt around to get the land ready for the new structure, which will be much bigger.
A new, larger Kwik Star station is coming to South Sixth Street.
The convenience store and gas station chain has marked the 814 S. Sixth Street location, or Kwik Star No. 607, for a rebuild. It is one of three Kwik Star stores in Marshalltown.
The city’s April Building Permit Report shows Kwik Trip Inc., owners of Kwik Star convenience stores in Iowa, was approved for a permit for a $3.5 million miscellaneous improvement. Construction is underway while the existing store continues to operate.
