We’re Kwik Trip, Inc., a family-owned convenience store company proudly rooted in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Since 1965, our 38,000+ hard-working and dedicated co-workers have been serving up smiles (and snacks) at over 850 stores across the Midwest.

Kwik Trip began in 1965, and Kwik Star joined the brand in 1993. This year, the company proudly celebrates 60 years of serving its communities. From one small store to now over 900 locations — including more than 150 stores in Iowa alone — this milestone reflects the hard work and dedication of its coworkers and the loyalty of its guests. Kwik Trip/Kwik Star is a family-owned company that serves 11 million customers each week with convenient, clean retail stores. Many of the private label products featured in the stores are produced in-house. The La Crosse, Wisconsin-based headquarters operates its own commissary, bakery, and dairy. All three facilities are FDA approved and produce a wide variety of items, including sandwiches, soups, fresh bakery products such as white and wheat bread and buns, muffins, donuts, cookies, and bagels, as well as the Nature’s Touch brand of dairy products, milk, ice cream, and water. The company also maintains its own distribution center and fleet under the Convenience Transportation name. Recognized as a Top Workplace by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Minneapolis Star Tribune, and the Des Moines Register, the company continues to focus on growth and providing exceptional service to its communities.

We make it. We ship it. We sell it.
At Kwik Trip, Inc., we don’t just stock shelves. We take care of nearly everything from start to finish. That means more control, better quality, and fresher products for our guests every single day. This approach is called vertical integration, and it’s how we keep things consistent, local, and efficient.
As a vertically integrated company, we operate our own bakery, dairy, kitchens, food-safety lab, distribution center, LP plant, blow mold facility, transportation company, and health clinic, to name a few. Of all the product in our stores, 80% of it is Kwik Trip, Inc.’s own branded product that is made, shipped, and sold by our company.

What We Handle In-House
Bakery
We bake fresh bread every day, including 10 different varieties. Our bakery cranks out over 225 loaves a minute! And yes, it smells amazing.
Sweet Goods
Muffins, cookies, Glazers®, cinnamon rolls… we bake the good stuff daily, 365 days a year.
Dairy
We bottle over 80,000 gallons of milk a day, sourced from farms within 100 miles of La Crosse, WI. They aren’t kidding when they say “Cow to store in 24 (hours).”
Kitchens
From Take Home Meals to sandwiches to 40,000 pizzas a day, our Kitchens team keeps your favorites coming fast and fresh.
And that’s just scratching the surface. From snacks to sandwiches and dairy to drinks, what you see here is only a fraction of what we make and provide in-house every day. If it’s got the Kwik Trip, Inc. name on it, chances are we had a hand in making it from the ground up!
