“The most spectacular gas station convenience place in Saukville, Wisconsin!!! Stopped after work for a burger and the Mountain Dew donuts caught my eye. I'll give em 3.5 outta 5 stars, not the Kwikery's(KwikTrip Bakery) best work. Maybe if you dunk em in Mountain Dew they fulfill their destiny as a donut? Anyway, lots of gas pumps, a car wash, and all the munchies and hot snacks your roadtripping heart desires. Plenty of attentive employees, easy checkouts, clean restrooms. Oh, coffee bar and drink selection is killer, plus they stock all the essentials like eggs, bread, milk, frozen pizzas, ice cream....you get the idea. Stop in, you won't be disappointed!!”
“Best Walgreens in the Milwaukee area! Customer service is exceptional all around, store is clean and organized, and overall such focus on doing a great job. I ordered same day photo products from 4 other Walgreens stores and they all canceled my order. Saukville was the only location to fulfill it despite being shortstaffed, and they did so even after having some difficulties with getting it completed AND did it ahead of schedule. Thank you to Laura for going above and beyond!”
“I live nearby, but also within just a few miles of multiple gas stations. I really enjoy going to this casey's, all of the staff are amazing. They're practically family at this point. They're so helpful, even when I have ridiculous questions. Even when I need something that they may or may not have. If something isn't right they will do their best to fix it. Big shout outs to Ryan, Jason, Sarah, and Nick. I've seen them help elderly women get their gas caps unstuck, and stuff. Yeah, sometimes the garbages are a little full, but that's usually after a big rush. Like most places they don't have as many employees as is optimal, but their crew does a fantastic job making it work. I've never had a bad experience with any of their current employees. Even when they are swamped, they are courteous and fun. No to mention my service dog adores them all too. Also, the milk I think is better than Kwik trips! Expensive, but worth it.”
