Steve Cahalan: La Crosse’s Largest Kwik Trip To Open July 14, While Two Older, Smaller Ones Close
About two weeks from the “Taj Mahal of Kwik Tours”, opened, as comedian Charlie Berens made it in La Crosse Talk PM.
But no, the new store at Mormon Coulee and Ward Avenue, billed as the “World’s Largest Kwik Drive,” will be the company’s only La Crosse store.
“I think Charlie gives us a good reputation and every time he says something, it’s hard,” Kwik Trip communications director John McHugh told WIZM. “He’s a strong supporter of Kwik Travel. If he speaks, it’s good news for Wisconsin.”
Opened on July 14 is the Generation 3 store – the same size that opened a few months ago in Holmen, which is Gen. First 3 times in Coulee.

Mr. McHugh said, “We are very surprised by the popularity of this new story. “We have a lot of requests about, ‘What is all this? Make it special?’ And, of course, as you know, in La Crosse, what makes it special is that it’s all over La Crosse Street. They support our Kwik Trip stores.”
As for the Kwik Tour down the road, McHugh said this will be a new experiment that the company has been launching for the past few months.
“It’s going to be, what’s called, a Kwik Spirits store, where they’re going to focus more on our age-restricted tobacco and beverage products,” McHugh said, noting that this would be the third Kwik Spirits within the company. “They will have very good wine, beer, it’s a tempting idea for us, and we think it will work in what we can call our small place, especially because there is a supermarket nearby that can have all the food. We will try to see what happens.”

Janesville’s Newest Kwik Trip Will Be Around Corner From Another Kwik Trip
As for “Taj Mahal,” McHugh notes that it may not be “the greatest in the world” but it’s not your typical Kwik ride.
“When you get into it, when it’s over, it feels different,” he said. “It looks different inside, it feels different, so you immediately go, ‘Wow, it’s different.’
“So, it’s not just increasing the number of images. It’s the whole system, the tiles on the floor, on the walls. It looks different from the normal fast tour. So, I think that’s why there’s so much interest.”
McHugh said he won’t be doing anything special for La Crosse’s first Generation 3 store, even though Kwik Trip CEO Don Zietlow will be there, as he has every grand opening.

And when Kwik Trip had nothing in common in the works, Berens was asked on La Crosse Talk PM if he would go to the grand opening if Kwik Trip threw in some of his money and he said, “I would. It’s free. I’ll be there.”

La Crosse Kwik Tour Suspect Goes to Jail LA CROSSE TALK PM: UW-L Political Scientist Chergosky About the Vigilant Police Officer Who Arrested Ulysses S. Grant Prairie Springs Goes Before the Building Commission for the Third Time Kwik Tour Arrives in Carlton County Two new people. Now that Kwik Trip gas and convenience stores are closing in Scanlon and Cloquet this month, Carlton residents are starting to see what the fuss is about.
With the opening of two new Kwik Trip gas and convenience stores in Scanlon and Cloquet this month, Carlton residents are starting to see what all the fuss is about.
The World’s Largest Bounce House Is Coming To Minnesota
The Scanlon Kwik (on Highway 45 near the I-35 exit) was packed last week, as shoppers took advantage of free coffee and 99 cents for a half donut. Others buy gas, fruit, milk from the bag or like more food from the store.
The Sunnyside Kwik store (corner of Highway 33 and North Cloquet Street) opened on Thursday and traffic picked up on Friday when people found out the store was open for business.
So far, as Kwik Travel has entered the Twin Ports market with a heart that has opened stores more than 24 hours in 15 months, creating hundreds of jobs. All stores will be newly built, with an area of 5,800 square meters and a value of about 5 million US dollars.
The past week has seen major openings – two in Superior, two in Duluth and one each in Hermantown, Scanlon and Cloquet. Five more locations – three in Duluth, one in Superior and one in Hermantown – are so far in the pipeline for 2015, with more in the works.
Kwik Trip Construction Begins This Month
The popular Wisconsin chain is known for fresh produce, fresh bread and milk that is handled daily from its headquarters, warehouse and kitchen in La Crosse. The milk comes from the company’s dairy farm and is delivered to the store 24 to 36 hours after coming from the cow. The store also serves fresh sandwiches and hot meals, including pizza, cheese, soups and breakfasts made in the store’s kitchen.
The family-owned chain has about 425 stores in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa. Although it will open about 35 stores this year, its biggest push is north, in the Duluth-Superior area, which Scott Teigen, the company’s chief financial officer, said is a good market. Because Kwik Travel delivers fresh food every day at its stores, it’s very cost-effective to deliver to large stores in limited quantities. It also saves money on advertising, he said. The new Kwik at Stadium Road and Monks Avenue, left, will be the largest in the area when it opens next week – more than double the size of the store it is replacing.

MANKATO — Kwik Tours keeps coming to the Mankato area, and they’re growing with each new building.
Kwik Trip: If You Want Coffee, Bring Your Own Cup
The campus Kwik opening next week east of Minnesota State University will be the largest in the area, and could be big enough to dwarf the planned Hy-Vee Fast & Fresh.
The 8,300 square meter store, on the corner of Monks Avenue and Stadium Road, is set to open on Thursday, September. 3, will be more than twice the size of the current store that was built in 2002. The larger size reflects the growing customer base. The number of fast growing stores and the desire to build a large store.
“It’s very open when you walk in,” said John McHugh, director of communications for La Crosse, Wisconsin-based Kwik Trip.
But there will be new things. Customers will have the opportunity to choose a dinner – fried chicken, made on site, with a suitable dish. A variety of family-style frozen meals, such as spaghetti and meatballs and chicken Alfredo, will be sold to those looking for family meals that can be microwaved and prepared in minutes.

“We’re just finding, especially in existing areas, a few people go to restaurants but they don’t want to cook every day,” McHugh said.
A similar Mini-Hy-Vee was approved in 2018 for the next phase east of where the Kwik Ride was built, and city officials hope to begin construction in the summer. That didn’t happen, but Hy-Vee officials said a year ago that they still plan to build the store, which would include wood-fired pizza, a Starbucks coffee shop and the ability to shop at Hy-Vee. Vee’s Mankato store for fast & fresh pickup on campus.
When asked this week whether the new Kwik’s Trip has changed the market enough for Fast & Fresh to be left behind, a Hy-Vee spokesperson did not directly answer.
“We still own it,” the spokesperson said. “However, I don’t have any construction time to share at this time.”
