A new Kwik Trip will be built in Chatfield, Minn. in the near future, giving residents and visitors a more convenient Kwik Trip store to stop and top off their tanks. Mr. Hans Zietlow, Director of Real Estate for Kwik Trip, Inc. stated, “Yes, we are going to building a new Kwik Trip in Chatfield,” which means that a new store will be under construction in the coming months.

According to Hans Zietlow, the company is “working through a couple issues with the D.O.T. and we should be ready to go,” he said. Mr. Zietlow stated that the public should look for the store to go up in the Summer of 2013, so it won’t be long before residents and visitors of Chatfield will be stopping in to get those everyday items.

The new Kwik Trip store will be located at the intersection of Highway 30 West and Highway 52/Main Street, which is where the Val A Lodge building currently sits. This new location will be very convenient for customers, delivery drivers, and employees for many reasons.

Alicia Gady, Manager of Kwik Trip in Chatfield, has been employed by Kwik Trip for six years and became the Manager in the Chatfield store in October of 2012. Alicia says she is “absolutely excited” about the new store being built although she has not been made aware of the exact date that construction will begin. Alicia stated, “The community will have a better Kwik Trip to serve them,” and added that the new location will be “easier for older residents to get in and out,” which they will appreciate.

Employee Mike Hanson, who has worked at Kwik Trip for two years, said the best part of his job is “the customers” and stated that he is “really looking forward” to having a new store. Mike said, “It will be really nice for the customers,” and more convenient for everyone.

The Kwik Trip that will be built in Chatfield will have all of the items customers are used to purchasing at the current store such as bananas, milk, and bread, and will also have room for some added conveniences. According to Manager Alicia Gady, the new Kwik Trip will also “be able to service diesel fuel,” which will be welcomed by truckers who live in the area and those who are passing through town as well. The new Kwik Trip store in Chatfield will not have a car wash, according to Hans Zietlow.

Kwik Trip, Inc. is owned by the Zietlow family and the very first Kwik Trip store opened its doors in 1 .....
