What’s new on the Hot Spot?

If you’ve visited one of our stores recently, you may have noticed that April has brought some long-awaited items to the Hot Spot. Here’s a look at the newest featured items!

CHICKEN & WAFFLE SANDWICH

The combination you’ve been waiting for is finally available! Our guests have loved the premium chicken sandwich option that debuted this past September, and we’ve combined that chicken breast with the delicious maple waffle that we use for our breakfast sandwiches to make the perfect pairing of salty and sweet. You can try it as is, or you can drizzle a packet of the maple syrup that we’ve brought in to make for a different (and yes, slightly messier) experience. The chicken and waffle sandwich has been a popular brunch item, but we know that this pairing can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

STUFFED PRETZELS

Whether you’re accustomed to getting a pretzel at the ballgame, at a movie theatre, or on a street corner, the best kinds are easy to eat on-the-go. More often than not, the best of these pretzel offerings include cheese, so what better way to make the whole package as travel-friendly as possible than by having the cheese stuffed in the middle! The first pretzel that you’ll be able to try is our cheddar cheese stuffed soft pretzel, with jalapeno and cream cheese varieties set to make their debut later this year!

SMOKIN’ SWEET SAUCE & DIP

One of the most common questions we’ve fielded is when we’d be developing our own special sauce. Well, here we are. We’ve gone through many revisions and a lot of sampling but we finally landed on a recipe we loved, with the added perk that it comes from a local supplier – introducing our Smokin’ Sweet Sauce & Dip! It has a hint of golden mustard hue with the sweetness of a hickory barbecue sauce, and it pairs perfectly with our chicken tenders. However, don’t be shy! Try it on our chicken tender wrap, potato wedges, and more!

A Kwik Approach to Fresh Fruit and Veggies

One of the newer initiatives that the Kwik Trip Kitchens has undertaken in 2021 has been packaging fresh fruit for our stores, creating a more direct process that allows our Kitchens to have a better control of quality and freshness.

The initial offerings started with cups of pineapple, grapes, watermelon and cantaloupe, and will soon expand to include cups with combined pineapple and strawberries as well as another cup with strawberries, blueberries and kiwi. Later this spring, the Kitchens will start packaging 16-ounce fruit trays, 12-ounce and 6-ounce veggie trays of cauliflower, broccoli and carrots, as well as carrots and dip and another with apples and caramel. The production facility is currently producing approximately 15,000 units per day!

According to Brad Clarkin, production operations director at Kwik Trip, this endeavor is all about fresh, quality products.

“Kwik Trip is placing more emphasis on selling better-for-you products within our stores, as an effective way to continue to grow sales, increase profitability and offer our guests fresh product, at a great value,” said Clarkin.

These excellent offerings are prepared in the new addition of the Kitchens that came on-line last fall, in the same facility where our Take Home Meals and pizzas are produced. It continues to add to our commitment of delivering what guests want, with the freshest possible products at reasonable prices.

Kwik Trip Open Interview Day on March 24th!

March 22, 2021

## FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ##

KWIK TRIP OPEN INTERVIEW DAY

Endless Career Opportunities

Kwik Trip announced that March 24th has been designated as their next company-wide Open Interview Day to kick off their Spring hiring.

Kwik Trip has been continually expanding its footprint within the Midwest and this year is no different.  This growth is what prompted the company to hold another event on Wednesday, March 24th.  This in-person event will take proper precautions to keep people safe. Guests 16 and older are welcome to stop into any store between 10 am – 6 pm to receive an interview at all Kwik Trip, Kwik Star, Tobacco Outlet Plus, Tobacco Outlet Plus Grocery, and Stop-N-Go stores. Facemasks and physical distancing requirements must be observed at all times.

Kwik Trip says that while not all their markets will be getting a new store this year, between additions to their current stores, as well as their focus on internal growth, there are many openings in all areas of the company.  “As we continue to grow our footprint and our people, there are never-ending opportunities to join our company,” says Recruiting Manager Stephanie Cormican.  “These company-wide events make it easy for people to stop into the nearest store, talk to the Store Leader for a quick 10-15-minute interview and be on their way.”

The company is looking for individuals who are hardworking, dependable, and possess their Core Values.  Applicants are encouraged to apply online at kwiktrip.jobs before the event.  There you can also find additional information on the benefits that Kwik Trip shares with its coworker such as sick and vacation pay, 401k, health and dental plans, as well as a 40% profit sharing plan that provides coworkers with a yearly bonus check.
