Try it sometime. It's amazing.

In western desert areas there is a really deluxe "Terrible's" chain.

For a couple of days, I found myself depressed and listless, roaming aimlessly with no hope of survival...turns out I was just driving through western Texas. Got better once I left Amarillo....
 
My vote is for Kwik Star and second would be QT. Both stores pay their employees well and generally have plenty of staff to get people in and out quickly. Gas prices are competitive in Ankeny. Casey's gets a hard knock from because their image is stale (unless you happen to walk into a new store) and so many of their stores are in major need to remodel. Reimage that logo while they're at it. It's not the 80's anymore.

Seriously, McDs soda is the worst **** on earth, and this from somebody that goes through a 12 pack a day of Coke Zero. Since they don’t have Coke Zero, I have to settle for Diet Coke, but most of the time it tastes like somebody dropped a load in dirty pond water.

This isn't on topic at all but Mcdonald's has far and away the best Sprite and Coke you can get. It's hangover magic.

QT’s checkers don’t **** around. One person two registers. They run that *****.
 
KS is my new favorite. Kids really like their slushies and their donuts are really good and cheap. I'm a fan of the chicken strips, but I haven't tried anything else yet.

Save your money and DON"T try the pizza. It's marginal.
 
Kum and Go Balls......



the ping pong balls.. I brought a set of them from leave one time and had probably 20 people ask about them when they saw them at our house playing beer pong. :jimlad:
 
I probably give the edge to Casey's, if nothing because I tend to be loyal to IA companies (Casey's, HyVee, AE, and so on). Kwik Star could win me over, but right now I don't make it to KS often without going out of my way.

I do agree Casey's needs a revitalization.

One thing about Casey's that I don't like are the sauce packs (ranch, buffalo, barbq). How do you open those? The film will not come off. It's kind of annoying.
 
I think it's good. They also have a decent electronic foofy coffee machine.
Lots of free add ins for all coffee stuff.

If it's the same as Kwik Trip I get their general stuff but I like how they offer quite a few flavors of coffee in general.
 
Casey's tops Kwik Star in my books. Kwik Star has a ton of food options but lower quality than Casey's. Kwik Star pizza tastes like frozen pizza made 2 hours ago. Cannot beat Casey's pepperoni or breakfast pizza.

Out of state honorable mention, WaWa has an amazing made to order kitchen.

Have you had Kwik Star’s breasted chicken? Amazing
 
My wife and son got a rotisserie chicken and said it was great too. She said it was like 6.99 and tastes the same as fareway or hyfive.
I haven’t gotten that yet, I always go for the breasted. It’s seriously really good.
