Top 10 Reasons Why Kwik Trip is the Best Gas Station

If you know, you know. Step inside a Kwik Trip (if you’re in Wisconsin or Minnesota), or Kwik Star (Iowa or Illinois), and you will soon understand the hype. Kwik Trip is the best gas station—and there really is no comparison!

Food. People. Cleanliness. Convenience. Kwik Trip does is RIGHT. Whether you’re on a road trip and want gas, a bathroom, and food all in one place, are in need of a quick weeknight meal for the family, or simply need a quick morning stop for coffee and a donut…

Kwik Trip is the answer.

Have I convinced you yet? No? Well then let me explain further. Here are the Top 10 Reasons Why Kwik Trip is the BEST gas station out there…

10. Clean Bathrooms

I mean, it’s important, am I right!? No one wants to go into a grungy, dirty bathroom—ESPECIALLY at a gas station. But fear not, because you will never do it at a Kwik Trip. If you stop here, you can guarantee a nice, clean bathroom with all of the essentials fully stocked.

9. Kwik Trip Employees

Second, you never run into disgruntled or rude employees. Those on the job will happily ring up your items, tell you where something is, or enlighten you on the newest (and most delicious) products! And it’s all done with a smile and a few final words:

8. The Brand

Okay, not only are their in-store employees wonderful, but their marketing team is top-notch. They know they are the best and they play the role to perfection. Follow them on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok and I promise, you will get a laugh from them. (Including a few jabs at their rival Casey’s!)

7. Kwik Trip Rewards

Stop in a once and you’ll never want to stop at another gas station again! Which makes their rewards program so enticing. Earn free food, discounts on fuel, and exclusive coupons when you sign up for a Kwik Trip Rewards card.

You can also sign up for a Kwik rewards debit and credit. This will get you an automatic 3 cents off per gallon of gas, 5% off in-store purchases (for most items), and everything you receive with the Rewards card.

6. The App

Want even more rewards? Get the Kwik Trip app! You can scan your card digitally, track your visits, keep your coupons in one place, and earn gas and free food (think a free coffee with 15 visits, bread for 20, etc.)

You can get the app on the Apple App Store and Google Play.

5. Grocery Items & Take Home Meals

Eggs, fruit, vegetables, milk, butter, and other staples? You will find all of it at Kwik Trip! And it’s not only groceries that make Kwik Trip the best gas station and a one-stop shop…

It’s their wide variety of take-home meals that make getting dinner on the table an easy task! Think meals like burritos and bowls, mac and cheese, and pasta, with more added frequently. Plus, you can skip the huge grocery store where you need to walk from one end to the other just to get the 5 ingredients for your meal.

BONUS: There are often GREAT deals on staples including $2.99 gallons of milk, $2.49 butter, $0.99 buns, $0.99 eggs, etc.

4. Healthy Options on the Road

One of the things that makes this place the best gas station are its healthy options. Sometimes a slice of pizza or a breadstick full of cheese is just not what the body is craving. But this is a gas station stop you can make and find fresh salads, fruit, yogurt, vegetables, protein bars, and meat sticks and cheese packages.

Their variety of salads are my favorite and they have all of your favorite dressings fully stocked.

3. Glazers & Sweets

Forget the healthy stuff—let’s talk SWEETS! Starting with the famous Glazer donut. I mean, it’s $.99 of happiness and you never regret it. Made fresh daily, these glazed donuts (I like the one with the chocolate drizzle) will make your day. And they don’t stop there…

The Peanut Butter Crispy Bars are next-level. And you can also find classics like cookies and brownies. Are you on a road trip to visit family? Make sure to bring Kwik Trip sweets to share!

2. Hot Food

Maybe this should be #1—it’s debatable. But the hot food at Kwik Trip completely changed my life. I went from “I will never eat hot food from a gas station,” to “so, can I get a chicken sandwich, egg roll, and a burrito all in one stop…” I am telling you, this stuff is actual food and you do NOT need to be afraid of any of it.

kwik trip food is not only above All gas station food, but above every fast food out there.

And let me give you TWO Insider Tips from a Professional Kwik Tripper:

The numbered sticker on the outside of the packaging tells you what time that item needs to be pulled off because it’s been there too long. Check out the numbers and find the freshest one by selecting the timestamp that’s farthest into the future.
