Vertical Integration - Kwik Trip | Kwik Star

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!
