“So many great deals if you have the rewards program. Gas is on the expensive side but if you use your rewards it probably isn't too bad. Hands down the cleanest restroom and One-Stop shop for last minute needs before you go home. To be fair, the only reason it's not five stars is because it's not a buc-ee's and to be honest I just really want a buc-ee's otherwise it would have five stars 🤩”
“I work 2nd shift and often stop at Kwik Trip in St. Peter on my way home from work around 2am. EVERYONE working there are always friendly and in a good mood. If I can't find something they immediately offer to go in the back and look for it. I'm welcomed with a smile every time I stop.”
“Tuesday 12/20/2022 @ 3:11pm88 Octane: $2.299 per gallonKwik Trip is the best thing since sliced bread in the Upper Midwest as far as gas stations are concerned.I've only been to this location a few times since it was built new here somewhat recently but it's just as good as all the many dozens of others I've been to.I only topped of my fuel tank and got a coffee refill today but all went really well.I did warn a few employees including a manager that pump #15 was leaking gas by around the fitting before the pump handle and the store got on it by bagging the pump handle and taking it offline right away so their were no fires or explosions and that was awesome to see them react so quickly.Kwik Trips are great as they have so many drink options, some actual groceries like avocado's, bananas, potatoes, steaks and pork chops, bacon, premade potatote and mac and chesse sides and to many other things to list besides their multiple hot bars of food, pizzas, ice cream and more usual stuff gas scions have than most others.Most everything including hot items and coolers as well as produce and candy were all stocked up very well and the store was pretty clean considering how busy they were today with the cheap gas prices.This location also sells live bait for fishing which is pretty neat as many locations do not as far as im aware however St Peter sits right on the Minnesota River so the locals and kids can buy bait to go fishing and keep out of trouble.All the employees here like most Kwik Trips seemed pretty sociable, kind and just plain great and they check you out very quickly.”
