I agree that Kwik Shop and Casey’s have stepped up their newer stores to compete w/ QT, but the service is just far worse at both.
I’ve been going to Kwik Shop more recently because they added a SmartPay app that gives you at least $.20 off a gallon of gas, discounts on stuff in-store and sometimes free sodas, energy drinks, etc. Buying crap in the store also increases the gas discount. You aren’t allowed to link the app to a credit card tho, so that’s a bummer. Has to be bank account.
If I have crap loads of Dillons points, I’ll go to the Dillons gas stations (used to be Kwik Shops) or their gas islands. I’d probably go to these more if they were closer to my house. They also usually have prices closer to what are inside Dillons than most convenience stores, and give you like 4x fuel points. I’d go here more if they were closer to my house.
I rarely go to Casey’s, and their gas-type/pricing is confusing. It looks like they’re trying to fill their stores with Casey’s branded items. Not sure what to think of this. I do like their pizza and subs tho (but I usually go to jimmy John’s for subs).
