History

The following section is an excerpt from Wikipedia's Kwik Shop page on 19 March 2023, text available via the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.

Kwik Shop is a chain of convenience stores and gas stations located throughout Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa. They offer cold beverages, coffee, snack items, general foods, lottery tickets, and gasoline. It is owned by EG America, which is headquartered in Westborough, MA.

Kwik Shop was founded as an operating division of Dillons, in 1959.

Dick Dillon, developed the Kwik Shop concept, combining the time-saving and personalized service of a small store with supermarket efficiency in management, inventory control and merchandising. In the late 1960s, Kwik Shop expanded into a three state market area of Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa.

In 1972, Kwik Power Gasoline was introduced, offering self-service gasoline for complete one-stop service.
