This is by far the best convenience store in the entire Waterloo/Cedar Falls area. I used to live…read moreby it and wish we had one on the south side of Waterloo where I live now! The food is great for quick lunches, the bread is inexpensive and fresh and they are not over-priced! Thankfully, I work close to the Cedar Bend Kwik Star, so I still frequent it! PS: They have very little turn over so they always recognize me! I feel valued when I shop there :)

Kwik Star Seems to be a difficult place to get secure employment. I believe that this company…read morehires many barely employable folks. In doing so many highly applicants never get hired. Training is easy but from my experience they seek people who will turn over quickly saving possible pay increases. Really nice employees who will never reach the higher pay that they deserve. Again, skip this employer.

I really like how this gas station has an incredible amount of snacks, beer, fruit, and hot food!…read more I have never had any of their hot food ( I don't eat gas station food) so I can't comment on that but from what my friends have told me it is really good! They always have a vast selection of fresh doughnuts, bakery items, hot dogs, soup, and all of the beverages you could imagine. This gas station is right by my apartment so I find myself going here multiple times a day usually. Every time I go in I am greeted right away and the service is tremendous. The gas priced are some of the cheapest in the area too. They accept bottle and can redemptions for recycling, which is convenient. Overall, everything a good gas station experience should be!

Saturday February 18th 3:00 p.m. Needed to use the restroom…read morebefore shopping. Saw an employee go in. I waited 5 minutes... ... and another 5 minutes... Then hear videos being played in the stall. I asked the employee, "are you just sitting there watching videos?" He smugly replied, "yeah, I am" and turns up the volume. I go to a manager to complain, and I can't get him to even acknowledge my presence. I tried to tell him about the employee sitting in the bathroom just watching videos. He ignores me. No comment. Nothing. Straight out ignores me as if I was not there. When I go up the counter to make my purchases, he's behind the counter and won't make eye contact. On any other day, I would have nothing but praise for this store. I don't know the manager who ignored me, nor do I know the employee that was having his movie break. I don't know who, if anyone, was in charge. As a customer, I feel very disrespected by this treatment. I'm, however, so pleased that employees watching videos in the bathroom have a higher priority than customers. In any case, when a customer comes up to an employee, (let alone a manager) and has a complaint, be professional at least and have the common decency to not ignore the customer. I had come to expect more from Kwik Star.

This is the latest gas station that's open in the area. I'm surprised that it's taken so long to…read moreget a gas station onto San Marten near the mall. There's a Kum & Go that's pretty creepy all the way up the street, but aside from that, you have to get off of San Marten to get any gas. As I'm someone who comes to the mall pretty often, I was glad to see this new gas station pop up. This gas station is also equipped with a car wash station. It's a very new building with a ton of gas pumps to match. However, despite just opening less than a month ago, three of the gas pumps were out of order. I had to actually wait in a line to get gas during the middle of a day on Thursday - which is something that has never happened to me. On the bright side, I guess it means that Waterloo really could have used this gas station. For those that don't want to worry about turning directly into, or out of, the gas station onto busy San Marten, Kwik-Star's parking lot directly connects to the Super Target parking lot, so you'll be able to get out in an indirect way that goes directly to a stoplight for an easier time getting back onto San Marten. Overall, it's definitely an awesome place for a gas station, and it's clear that it's new and clean. I was surprised to find that things were out of order already, and I was surprised to see quite so many people. Maybe people wouldn't have been waiting in line if all of the pumps were up - who knows? Either way, I'll be back.
