(Caitlin Shuda, USA TODAY NETWORK - Wisconsin) Kwik Trip is ranked the best gas station brand in the nation by USA TODAY readers.

According to Caitlin Shuda with USA TODAY NETWORK - Wisconsin, the national newspaper announced Wednesday morning its 2024 USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards. Kwik Trip made a couple of lists in the Road Trips division.

Kwik Trip ranked No. 1 in Best Gas Station Brand and came in third for Best Gas Station for Food, behind Royal Farms and Casey’s. Other Road Trips categories included Best Glamping Spot, Best Luxury RV Resort, Best National Park Lodge, Best Rental Car Company, Best Roadside Attraction, Best Roadside Motel, Best RV Campground and Best Vintage Trailer Hotel.

The awards highlight the best places and attractions in travel, food, drink and lifestyle. Each week, USA TODAY 10Best hosts a panel of industry experts who nominate their favorite places and attractions across a range of categories.

10Best editors look into each nomination and select a set of nominees that readers vote on for four weeks. Wisconsinites will not be surprised that Kwik Trip ranked first in the favorite gas station brand category.

Since opening its first location as a neighborhood grocery store in Eau Claire in 1965, the convenience store brand, now based in La Crosse, has grown to a Midwestern convenience store and gas station with almost 900 Kwik Trip and Kwik Star locations in Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota and South Dakota.

As Kwik Trip has continued to grow, it has collected a fan base that turned the brand into a phenomenon.
