KWIK TRIP IS COMING TO ALEXANDRIA

Kwik Trip is coming to Alexandria! According to an online article, the Alexandria City Council approved Kwik Trips 'conditional use permit' to build the first Kwik Trip in Alexandria. The convenience store will be located on the east side of Highway 29 South.

There are two buildings in the area that are being removed, including a barn that was used to hold special events and another building that used to be Thorud Motors.

The Kwik Trip location will be open 24 hours, and will consist of a 8700 square foot store, with 32 parking spaces, and eight fueling dispensers, and will be open 7 days a week.

The store will also employ approximately 25 to 30 employees.

WILL THERE BE MORE?

Will this be the only Kwik Trip in the Alexandria location? A representative from Kwik Trip, Dean George said, Kwik Trip 'would be happy to establish a store in the area and has future plans to construct more stores locally."

If you are not familiar with Kwik Trip, they were founded way back in 1965 in Wisconsin, and have been expanding through the state of Minnesota for at least the last five years. They are now located in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, and are also in South Dakota under a different name, Kwik Star.

They offer grocery items and have their own line of delicious baked goods, which are frosted in-house. They also fry chicken on location and typically offer family meals that include macaroni and cheese, and mashed potatoes. Lots of other options including cheeseburgers, grilled cheese, and chicken sandwiches, and also have whole fruit, potatoes, canned goods, and a variety of fresh hot coffees to choose from, as well as delicious frozen drinks, fountain pop and so much more.

WHAT YOU CAN GET AT KWIK TRIP

Many Kwik Trips include a carwash, but I don't know if the Alexandria location will include one.

I can tell you this...When you shop at Kwik Trip, you'll be shocked at the number of groceries you can pick up while you're fueling up, and love their Kwik Trip brands of ice cream, pizzas, donuts, and more. Congratulations Alexandria!
