“Today I needed gas. I’m not from the area and I wanted to use my Hyvee rewards. I only have a key fob. After failing at the pump, I went inside and talked to a delightful female cashier with blonde-ish hair and pink glasses (I’m so sorry I’m bad with names!) she helped me and explained how prepay worked with a card. I’ve never done it before inside. Always at the pump.I went back inside because I wanted the receipt for my “fetch” app rewards. She was so kind and helpful. Even gave my daughter a fist bump! Thank you so much!!! 6/26 was the date of transaction.”

“I love going to kwik Trip. The store was clean, besides floors being dirty, but hey, its winter, you can mop and 10 seconds later they will be dirty. Overall, this is a nice store, and easy to get into and out of. The customer service, Brandi, was very nice and was great to deal with. Had a great smile and attitude. It was well worth the stop.”

“We stopped in because Kwik Trip is a rite of passage when visiting relatives in Minnesota. The manager (obviously remaining anonymous) for this store and the Byron store is related to me, so an extra treat. She wasn't there this time, but the blue moon ice cream and Nature's Touch strawberry milk are awesome!”
