“I just recently noted that this convenience store in Rapids City is a QC Mart! This is yet another place I drive by twice every day I'm going to work. On this particular evening I needed some snacks and beverages for an overnight shift at the plant - this was a perfect opportunity to procure those from the QC Mart!The interior of this QC Mart is much the same as many of the others I've visited. There are beverage coolers along the back walls, a few rows of shelves with snacks through the middle of the space, some automotive supplies in one corner, and a coffee/hot beverage station in another. The floor is lined with plain red ceramic tiles, the drop ceiling is a standard mix of diffusers, returns, and florescent lighting. Exactly what one would expect from a convenience store.I got a few Gatorades and some Chex mix and headed up to the register. The attendant was friendly and a bit chatty. We talked a little bit about sodas and rebranding one beverage company was attempting. Really nice guy. I paid for my supplies and left with no further encumbrance or issue.I'd definitely stop here again for drinks and snacks, either going to or coming from work. Thanks again, QC Mart!”

“We ordered 2 pizzas to take to some friends house and we all thought the pizzas were Great! Even leftovers the next day my husband and I had the leftovers and they were still delicious. Great job and wonderful service. The pizzas were a lot better than Princeton and LeClaire. We live in Princeton but we might just order from Port Byron from now on.”

“Kwik Star convience stores was a welcome site after traveling 4,000+ miles in the southeast the past two weeks. No chain down there holds a candle to Kwik Star/Kwik Trip when it comes to quality and cleanliness. If you are traveling make Kwik Star/Kwik Trip your go-to stop for gas, food and a clean restroom. Keep up the good work Kwik Star employees! You really do make a difference.”

“We regularly visit there for halal meat. Sometimes, I get a good deal. Hope they maintain authentic halal. They need to put certificates on the shelves to help customers. They have Indian Biriyani. Taste is good. But their mutton biriyani feels like goat.”

“The neighborhood is an older suburb off a busy road so you do get some interesting characters now and again, but the store serves the local community well. Front door shows support for some local unions, and the folks that work here are very social and kind. Prices are pretty normal for the area, even go as far as to say a bit on the cheaper side at times. If you ever need to grab a cheap beer, smokes, or just some basic snacks CU is a great place to go!”

“If you're from the surrounding states, yes this is a Kwik Trip. They can't use the name because of another business in the area that's what I was told. They were up to the high standard of their chain clean, well stocked and just a good experience for a gas station.”

“I called in from California after looking at their website and finding the perfect floral arrangement. Sherry took my call and she was so helpful in getting my order placed over the phone. I had lots of questions about the process of them delivering the arrangement to a local business she answered all my questions perfectly. 5 star experience I highly recommend Hy-Vee Floral and I will certainly be a returning customer. Thank you Sherry!!”

“They do care! Had a recent issue with being overcharged for pizza and staff not being as customer oriented as they should have been. The owner called me back, looked into it, and called me back again. He was amazing!”

“When you are in hampton and the hunger pains service, Porter is the place to go. I love the pizza ? by the slice or whole one if you like. My buds always get their fried chicken with trimming hot and ready - friendly price.... oh, I almost forgot you can set down eat and watch the news all at Porter's”

“The pizza last night was good. But beware, it's inconsistent - on time may be good, while another could be raw dough and cold sausage. Depends on who is working.”

“Lovely to have Casey's in the neighborhood finally! I ordered some pizza, wings, and cheesy bread ahead of schedule because they are so busy during their first weeks. It was ready immediately when I got there and it was a delicious as every Casey's meal has been when I'm on the road. Glad to have you, keep up the good work and hang in there through the opening rush everyone!”

“Prepare to have your mind blown by the extraordinary wonders of the humble BP gas station! A realm where the smell of gasoline dances with the aroma of stale hot dogs. Their bathrooms, a symphony of questionable cleanliness, offer a thrilling adventure for your olfactory senses. And who can resist the gourmet delights of roller-grilled cuisine? BP, you are the epitome of ordinary greatness!”

“Of all the Walgreens in the QC, the one located on Kennedy Drive is my favorite! We do not have any issues with our prescriptions, and the staff is very helpful!!”

“I have shopped Walgreens since I was 16 years old. I am 69 years old, and I still shop Walgreens. The reason being is; I have never been disappointed. Walgreens is one of the best along with the other stores similar to what it provides. I just can't imagine there not being a Walgreens. If there were trophies being handed out, I'm positive Walgreens would being among the top stores. Great job Walgreens.”

“There's gas station to get gas. Shell gas stations are known for gas so if you want to put gas and expect to pay the price for it here is where you go to know what you're getting”

“I stopped by the Big 10 Mart attached to this bp to grab a snack and beverage on my way home from work. I hadn't stopped at this bp of convenience store before and didn't purchase any gas during my stop through here.Nonetheless, I can report that this bp is one of the cleaner and newer ones I've stopped by in the Quad Cities area. The station is well laid out next to 13th street - there are eight pumps total that are well spaced out with plenty of room to get in and out to pump gas. I saw two people during my stop and the adjacent Big 10 Mart, neither of which appeared to be having difficulty with the pumps or navigating the overall area.Closer inspection of the pumps reveals that they have the same selection and charging screen that several of the other bp stations attached to Big 10 Mart have. They look only slightly outdated compared to other comparable systems at Kwik Stars, CostCo Gas, and the Q C Marts around the area. That said, all that I saw were in good working order, so this isn't really a serious criticism of the station.If I had to in the future, I'd be alright with stopping by this particular bp station in the future for gas. The Big 10 Mart is a nice convenience store and this location is well set up for where it is. Thanks again, bp!”

“I really like that this Q C Mart is accessible from the McDonald's next door. That's probably the main reason I ended up stopping by - I really wanted a drink after my ice cream cone at the McD's and the Q C Mart was right there! I love convenience.This specific Q C Mart is like most of the others around the Quad Cities area. There's some car and automotive products in one corner of the store, a coffee station, cold drinks of alcoholic and non-alcoholic variety, and a few shelves of snacks down the center of the space. I selected an orange Gatorade Zero from the cooler for my particular drink.I also happened to use their restroom during this visit. It appears to have been recently redone, with what looked like relatively new floors and fixtures. Maybe some of the other complaints on Google Maps reviews are no longer valid? I'm not sure...I paid for my drink with relative ease and painlessness. The register took Google Pay, which made me happy (not many places left that don't take this, honestly). I then left, back out into the cold winter air to return to my car.I probably won't be back to this part of LeClaire for a while. It's a bit inconvenient to get to this location, what with having to turn off of Highway 67 and onto Eagle Ridge Road and climb the hill. Thanks Q C Mart!”

“The staff at this caseys really goes out of its way to make sure you get what you need if they can. Ashleigh is always a bright and smiling face and Mady is just as awesome. The new girls Miranda and Jersey are going to be great assets to the team!”

“I stop here every single day after work and I have lived in the area for my entire life. The outside is a little run down looking but I truly love this gas station- specifically because of the ladies who always work and treat me so kindly!!!”
