QuikTrip

I never did update this so… back down to 4 stars. Dude gave me inaccurate info about the kitchen. It’s closed from 10 PM to 6 AM and they won’t make you something if you ask, like the dude told me.
If the late night lines at Hy-​Vee, McDonald’s, and Poncho’s are any indication, they’re missing out on some late night cash.

I’ve frequented a lot of Quik Trips. In fact it’s my gas station of choice in any city when I can find one. The reason I’m going out of my way to comment on this specific location is because it deserves it! Hands down the best QT I’ve ever been to. My daughter and I now drive out of our way to get to this one. The amount of fountain selections is massive. The whole layout of the store was very smart and convenient, with coffees on one side and frozen drinks on the other while giving sodas their own corner. I love that they have a grill in the back where you can order fresh sandwiches made on the spot. Cashiers are so nice and friendly. I can’t say enough good things!

This place is the newest Quicktrip in Kansas City! The largest amount of pumps I have ever seen! The building looks great too!

Hubby and I were tooling down 40 Highway in Independence this afternoon and Hubs said «want to stop for a hot dog?» That didn’t turn out to be as «uggy» as it sounded. This new location has only been open for a few weeks and, come to find out, their building is built large enough to offer a QT Kitchen that has a Hot Dog and Taquito grill station, as well as choices of pre-​made deli sandwiches and wraps, salads and fruit in mostly single-​serving size containers. This is a way to eat a bit more sensibly that the usual chips, sweet rolls and donuts and fountain drinks. The Kitchen also offers several types of breakfast sandwiches.
I built my own grilled Hot Dog and made choices from a wide selection of sauces and toppings which included a small bar area that has chopped onion, peppers, tomato and a couple of other things. The dog was a good quality and tasted about as good as going to Up Dog and Sonic. Hubby got a Country Sausage sandwich and said his ‘wasn’t too bad either’. And he actually meant that in a nice way.
The QT Kitchen space is kept clean and neat with constant supervision from the employees. The store is bright, cheerful and inviting. And best news of all: Two Dogs, two bags of chips and two fountain drinks cost under $ 7. There are no tables and chairs so we went to our car to eat. But, yup, I would go back for another dog some other time, if the occasion should arise.

Got to love the fountain drinks.

I always stop by Quiktrip before seeing a movie in Independence so I can fill my purse with snacks. This time I decided to check out the new one off of 40 Highway and I’m glad I did!
There are drinks galore! Just when you think you don’t have any more drinks options, there are more drinks in every corner. They even have a «coffee shop.» I didn’t look at it too closely, but it looked like only your very basic lattes and mochas. Still neat, nonetheless.
They have 18 gas pumps as opposed to the 12 at most Quiktrips and their gas was 0.02 cents cheaper last night than the other Quiktrip in Independence.
Love Quiktrip and am glad we have a new and improved one.

Here in Independence, they built us a brand new Quiktrip. Oh it’s nice inside. The store has every Hotzie sandwhich Quiktrip makes. Along with the sandwiches are apples with caramel dip, carrots with ranch dip, assorted fruits, yogurt parfaits, and deluxe Hotzies… There’s atleast 5 roller grills with every taquito, corn dog, hot dog, brats, and every thing else that they make on a roller grill. They have a complete drink wall, with all the frozen delicacies of a Quiktrip, including a whipped cream dispenser to add to the calories and taste. Ofcourse, there’s a clean microwave for your warming up needs. Maybe a couple.
There’s a complete coffee bar that also has soft serve ice cream cones and smoothies and fresh donuts and muffins. Hell, one can gain 5 pounds just by walking into the doors. Tons of other things and this is much more than just a convenience store. Yes, Quiktrip has out done itself with the gorgeous location. Can it not get much better?
They also have a wine section.
And don’t forget gas. Several lanes.
We are worthy of the new Quiktrip. It will come of good use. Often.
