“Josh went above and beyond tonight when we needed some assistance in checking the tire pressure for our trip back to the Twin Cities. This was 10:30 at night and he made sure to check all four tires and topped them all off! He was very sweet and conscientious. What a good man! We were told this is the best Kwik Trip in town, and wow are we glad we came here!”

“Excellent customer service. They went above and beyond. They blew up a balloon for me that I purchased somewhere else that all the other stores declined to do. I offered to pay and nobody would do it and Walgreens did it and didn’t even charge me. I made sure to buy other balloons from Walgreens, which was easy because they had some really nice options the other stores didn’t have. The dollar store treated me as an inconvenience when they had to open another lane so they could blow up balloons but Walgreens treated me as if I was family. Asked about my child’s party, etc. Excellent customer service, I am very appreciative and will always start there for balloons from now on.”
