How honorable is QuikTrip?
A few years ago I was working on cleaning out my storage building and in a box of random crap, I found a Squart in pristine condition. I held on to it because I tend to hold on to odd shit. For example, my current hobby is going to estate and garage sales ISO weird shit I can tuck away in the house so after I’m gone, the people cleaning out my crap can mutter, “What the ****, Bob?”.
But I digress. Contrary to their stated strategy of the mid 1980s where they closed stores outside metro areas (that’s how I ended up in KC), they recently opened a store in Texarkana, roughly 150 miles from a division office. So now I have the opportunity to again get my 49 cent fountain refills! Or do I? I’m going to try to find someone to accompany me and video my attempt to refill this 35 year old relic while the employees who have no idea this item ever existed try to figure out what the hell to do. |

If they say yes, your bladder will have a QuikTrip.

Just checking in to say if there was one solitary company/franchise that I could pluck out of KC and bring to LA it would be QuickTrip. You don't know how lucky you have it.
Taco Via was close, though. |

QT has been building all over the place around Austin the last couple of years. There are 2 within 3 miles of me and they are building a third.

Last couple of time I had Taco Via were...yecht...Having said that they used to be one of my favorites. Yes Quiktrip is the best convenience/gas chain in the country.

There are 2 in Florida with a third one being built about an hour north of me. Supposedly it's going to be the largest one. As their popularity grows, they'll start popping up everywhere. I'm excited about the one coming up in Ocala since my son and his family are moving there. Their brisket sandwich is phenomenal

I lived in Texas back in the 70's so I missed Buc-ee's. Back then it was 7/11 and then just a bunch of oddball gas stations everywhere. I do have a fondness for 7/11 even now. Too bad though because it looks great. We have big truck stop stores out here but not like that.
