August 21, 2021 – West Bend, WI – It was 2014 and neighbors in West Bend were bemoaning the same thing – lack of a new Fleet Farm and a desire for Kwik Trip.
BAM – seven short years later and we have a new Fleet and today No. 4 Kwik Trip opened – oddly in the former location of Fleet Farm, 1637 W. Washington Street, in West Bend.
At 3 p.m. on opening day, August 19, 2021, the store was busy. The thing that stood out the most was the size of the interior (it seemed larger than other stores) and the huge display in the middle of the floor of bananas, potatoes and onions.
Granted, the direct mail flier has a coupon for one free pound of bananas, potatoes and onions. So Kwik Trip is ready.
The store was also fully staffed.
On a history note: Can you name the other locations in order they opened and what business they replaced. Kwik Trip No. 5 is also underway… do you know where that is and what used to be there?
