“Pleasant gas station with a little hometown feel, staff were friendly and the facilities were clean. Gas price was reasonable and plenty of room to maneuver the pumps.”

“7/29/2023 - Update. The correction finally came through. My faith is restored. Thank you.7/26/2023 8:20 p.m. I prepaid $50 and was assured that the balance would be credited back if I didn't use it all when I filled my pickup - just like any other gas station does. I pumped $33.20 of gas. The debit was on my account before I was even done pumping the gas. I waited around for at least 5 minutes and didn't see the credit so I went back and pointed out my concern. The cashier assured me it would show up in about 10 minutes. He said, "trust me." Well I never saw the $16.80 he owes me.”

“Excellent Kwik Trip here on the West Side of Albert Lea, MN. When I came, there was a little bit of hot food; but, there was a lot of bakery items. I saw the store was recently modernized (or renovated). The store for the most part was clean, except in the fountain area. The fountain area had some water on the floor. When I put my 30 oz cup under the Code Red nozzle, I noticed there was a little leak going on. It wasn’t that bad, but fountains probably shouldn’t be squirting water out the bottom left corner. Luckily, it was just that one nozzle, as the Coke & Pepsi Wild Cherry nozzles were working normally. After that, a certain 6pk of donut box catches my eye. It was maple frosted (or light brown frosting). Maple donuts are my favorite kind of donuts above chocolate iced donuts (which they also had). The staff were nice & friendly. The store was also nice & organized, in addition to the renovations mentioned above. This is the Kwik Trip, the interstate talks about, if you’re on I-35. It’s 2 1/2 miles from the interstate; however, it’s a great stop for anyone in Albert Lea or beyond. Keep up the great work, Kwik Trip #804!- Shy_Gun670”

“This place has the best cheap coffee I have found on my travels from IL to WY. You can get coffee lots of places even some name branded ones. But almost always I end up adding sweetener or creamer to hide the flavor. Here I get either the Hazlenut or Bblend and drink it straight. It’s ground right in front of you. Excellent flavor . They also have a large variety of snacks and the standard soft drinks. Give it a try if you like a simple brew with flavor and it does not cost $5.50 . Also the staff has always been friendly and helpful . I’ll be back thru soon!!”

“The dog parks are great. The bathrooms are very clean. There are no handicap electric door openers at any of the travel stops. I saw an elderly woman trying to open the bathroom door & almost get knocked down by the door slamming closed. Luckily I came around the corner at that moment & was able to open & hold the door for her.”
