If you missed the news back in 2019, you can get the full story here. To sum it up, the Kwik Trip location that is just off of Circle Drive by Century High School was too small so a rebuild was in the works for a new store that included more square footage in the floorplan.

The location at 2335 26th St NE will be closing its doors at 6 pm on Wednesday, July 28th, and the new store will open at 5 am on Thursday, July 29th. The new store will be open 24 hours.
