Kwik Trip has plans to invest over $151 million to expand its reach into Wisconsin, with the aim of creating more than 500 jobs in 2027.
According to the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. the chain aims to expand operations in the state through its dairy, commissary, and bakery facilities. In addition, its goal is to purchase and renovate an office building in Onalaska, as well as building a new distribution center.
Kwik Trip expects to earn an additional $15 million in performance-based Enterprise Zone tax incentives from the Development corporation.
This is the third time the state has invested in the retailer’s growth in Wisconsin, raising the company’s eligibility for tax credits to a total of $41 million.

“Kwik Trip is one of Wisconsin’s most instantly recognizable success stories. While most of us are familiar with Kwik Trip for its retail operations, the company continues to grow its manufacturing and supply chain base in our state, which is creating hundreds of jobs and new investments even faster than anyone could have anticipated,” said Missy Hughes, Secretary and CEO of Wisconsin Economic Development Corp.
Kwik Trip operates a retail network of 865 stores in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, and South Dakota.
