“The customer service is excellent and it's right next to where I work so I stop by at least once a month. It's a small gas station but it has everything you'd need. This is the type of gas station I grew up with, the newer gas stations like Kwik Trip feel more like grocerie stores and don't have the same small cozy vibes of smaller gas stations like bp.”

“I enjoy stopping into Kwik Trip just about every time because no matter what I'm there for, I always end up getting more goodies than I need. It's easy to do with the good buys that they have. It's usually all the stuff I don't need but give in to the guilty temptations because of the good prices. They usually have plenty of things in stock so there's no disappointment there. The workers are friendly and helpful and that's another good reason I stop in. It's so much nicer when I'm treated so well. They have a great assortment of goods so everyone can find something.”

“I always come here from Stillwater to get tobacco and nicotine products because it is so much cheaper. This is a large gas station with all the different amenities. They usually aren't very busy either. Perfect spot to stop for a snack.”

“I can not begin to express my love for the cheesy breadsticks made at this location. The staff all does a great job in the kitchen, but I have to give big props to the queen of breadsticks, OT. If you are craving a good kwik trip breadstick this is where you gotta go!”

“Nice gas station. Good selection on beverages and road warrior food. Gas prices are good but my pump was 10% ethanol. IDK if all the pumps are blend. Clean bathrooms.”
