I m a big fan of Kwik Trip. I think most people are and most can see that Kwik Trips are different than other convenience stores. Their staff is always friendly, their stores are always clean, they have a great selection, fair prices, and good food.
I actually got invited to tour Kwik Trip s La Crosse facility a year ago and asked about their expansion plans - They currently have 675 locations scattered across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa. I was told if one of their truck drivers can t make it to the town in a day trip then it s too far for them to consider. The company prides itself on delivering fresh truckloads to each store every day. Perhaps, they could hire Brent Erdman.
