I know they are considering a stop light or roundabout at that intersection. That's the last I've seen of anything mentioning that intersection.
Holy crap. On Mother's Day, the line was ridiculous when we went by there. Combined with entitled people that are bound and determined to turn left out of that drive across 3 lanes of traffic no matter how busy it is leads to significant backups.
You basically choose your base - "coffee", energy blend, lemonade or sparkling water and then you fully customize it with whatever flavor syrups you want (They probably have 30+ just taking a wild guess). They put an absurd amount of flavoring so everything defaults to being extremely oversweet. The coffee is really, really bad and not worth the time. Their energy drinks and flavored sparkling water are actually pretty good if you ask for it with 1/4 or 1/2 sweetness to bring things down to a reasonable level.
Huxley is getting one with a similar layout in the new "Anthem" development on the south side of town.
I don’t know now but a company I worked for previously did underground on a bunch of Kwik Trips in MN/WI and you got 70 days from the date they told you that you were starting to when they expected customers to be walking through the door.
They paid promptly and were typically fair but the timeline was absolutely non-negotiable. They didn't care if the plumbers and electricians were tripping over each other.
3 of them have gone up right around me, they definitely move quick.
I went down first street at like 9:30 PM and there were multiple cars in the drive through. Boggles my mind. I don't think I've ever seen less than like 8 or 10 cars in line at the new Hyper either.
Wife gets Hyper about once a week. It's just Rockstar with added flavoring. Their coffee also sucks.
I think I saw it was Monster at one point but yeah, probably a bit of both. That sugary drink crap doesn't interest me in the slightest so I've never been.
Jeez what's the future of Maverik? They might be all closed by this time next year. Kwik Star takeover.
Their days were numbered once Kwik Star came to town.
Have to hand it to their planning department. Some of the fastest/efficient construction around it seems.
