Not quite on the same level as the new concept Quik Trips in Kansas City, but not a bad alternative. Until Quik Trip decides to rebuild on 23rd or open a new Quik Trip out in Western Lawrence, the Kwik Shop out on 6th & Wakarusa is probably the best option.
They have a decent amount of fuel stations and the prices are some of the lowest n town. Especially if you have points built up on your Dillions grocery card. The fuel stations are well lit and clean. The window wash tubs are sometimes empty as are the paper towel dispensers. Their air station for tires is rather lackluster.
Inside the Kwik Shop you will find plenty of snack, drinks, hot grill items (well, not always), pre-made hot food, toiletries, grocery items, and various other nick-nacks. Their soda fountain machines are pretty good. Not too syrupy and they offer crushed ice! Yea, some folks love crushed ice and I'm a fan as well.
The griller items which consist of taquitos and hot dogs seem to be a popular choice at Kwik Shop. The doughnut case which is primarily Krispy Kreme is stocked with cookies, muffins, brownies, and donuts. Not a huge fan of Krispy Kreme but the other items in the case are really good.
The coffee selection is actually decent for a service station. In my opinion it is better than Quik Trip and I'm sure many will debate this. The coffee is served the old fashioned way in glass carafe's and always fresh. If not, ask the attendant to make a fresh pot and I have never been refused. I really like the light roast and sometimes venture into the vanilla flavored drip coffee. Use your Dillions card and build up points to get a free coffee.
Large selection of snack foods with Kroger dominating the selections. Grocery items a re a bit expensive but that is to be expected n a gas station.
The cashiers are usually friendly and personable. Another bonus is the RedBox machine sitting out front. Not too many people use this machine for some reason. Always has a large selection of movies available.
I really like this Kwik Shop location as there are some other good one's in Lawrence. read more
