I'm never more than a mile away from a QT. Also, we have a card for our grocery store that every $50 we spend is 5 cents off per gallon the next time we fill up at QT.

Similar situation for the Dillons here.   The discount works at the Dillons gas stations and the Kwik Shops.  Most Kwik Shops are pretty decent but some are even better than QT's.   The one in Goddard is like a mini Dillons- deli, fried chicken, cheap milk, etc.

yeah that kwik shop is basically the crown jewel of the town of goddard, ks

They have a walmart now.  :surprised:

Have spent a bit of time in Goddard, but it's been a few years. Where would they put a walmart?

It's south east of town.

Just down the road (south) of the new high school.   Think it's like 167th street?   I haven't been yet but JTbro lives off of 135th so he's pretty excited to have one down the road.   Guess it's not real big but at least the rural location keeps a segment of the Walmart trash out...

If I ever move out of Manhattan, the fact that it doesn't have a QT will play a major part.

They're building a new one within walking distance from EuroMom's house at 87th and Farley in Overland Park. You can practically see the next closest QT from that corner.

This QT to Manhattan debate would be settled with a simple trip to their website or Wikipedia. They are only in large metro areas.

Wow. Somebody hasn't seen Wefald's future population estimate based upon NBAF.

They're building all kinds of Quiktrips in my part of town. And every place they put in a new one, RaceTrac comes in and puts one right across the street.

What do you guys mean by "next gen" QTs?  Just the ones with the kitchens?

They are quite a bit bigger than the older stores that are around Wichita.  I think that one of the things they did in the lay out was to make sure there was room for liquor when that law changes.  They are also a lot more open inside the store with a patio area outside (mentioned earlier).  The nextgen label is just what it was called by the GC when I was bidding on the last one in Wichita.

OK, I was just curious if they were trying out something new in Wichita.  We've had the QT kitchens here for awhile, but I can only think of one that has a patio. 
I got a guy on the other line about some white walls

The first one that was built in Wichita is at Hillside and Orme just south of Kellogg.  If you use google earth, you can see site demo and clearing in progress and get an overall feel for the size of the site.

I saw a development company sign go up sometime this summer, so I did a Google search and found a City of Olathe meeting transcript of QT proposing the idea. I had been waiting since then to see them start working. I was unreasonably excited when I saw them start moving dirt that fateful day in December.
