“This is the Kwik trip next to my old high school. Lots of memories. I miss those days and am sad that they built a road around hortonville, thus giving this location less business. God bless the Polar Bears, thank you for the memories.”
“It's a gas station. It doesn't take much to get 5 stars, the guy behind the counter was nice. However, its not hard to lose a star or 2 as well. Cigarettes are cheaper here than most gas stations or other places around here, so that's good to know”
“Amazing location, especially in RP servers..this place is the benchmark for gas in GVRP servers, also many people come here to do U-turns, good price of gas, and good amount of gas pumps!!!!”
“Absolutely love the staff at this place! Everytime I go up to Athelstane I make it a point to buy my beer from this gas station because it's coolers keep it a perfect temp. But it's the staff that works here that make the experience enjoyable they are always ready with a smile and easy to talk to.”
“5 Stars to the cashier for telling me how to use their pumps as I wasn't use to pumping gas with that kind of pump and couldn't figure it out as I was in mid panick attack from the day I was already having.”
“Fast and friendly service. Everything is up to date from the store, the Subway, and the pumps. Service personnel was friendly and genuine without being overbearing or up selling. Nice selection of snacks and alcohols as well.”
“This is a very large Kwik Trip located just west of the US 45 bypass. (It's on Wis 54/Bus 45.) Take the exit from US 45 and go west about a quarter mile or so. It's a big store with lots of parking. The store has a fueling station for 18-wheelers and a car wash. On the large fueling island, you'll find Unleaded Regular, Unleaded Premium, E-85, Unleaded 88, and Diesel #2. If you drive a large truck, on the diesel fueling plaza you'll find Diesel #2, Premium Diesel, and Diesel Exhaust Fluid. (If you have to ask what DEF is, you probably don't need it.) It's a complete convenience store with dairy products, sandwiches, coffee and soft drinks and almost anything you could need in the coolers, freezers, and food gondolas. Like all Kwik Trips, the bakery all comes from La Crosse and it's pretty good. It's everything you've come to expect in a Kwik Trip and a whole lot more. By the way, Kwik Trip has the best chocolate milk in Wisconsin! I am also fond of the egg salad sandwich and the western omelet croissant on the hot spot!”
“I can count on Kwik Trip locations to almost always be clean, well stocked and organized. The staff is almost always friendly and helpful. The quality and variety of products is nice.”
“Just your typical Walgreens with the same products you can find anywhere else, only with much higher prices tthan most places that sell those same products. Example: A bag of Twizzlers licorice costs around $3.00 at Walmart, costs almost $4.00 at Walgreens. Walgreens does have good deals on vitamins and supplements, where you buy one and get another 50% off or even free.”
