Kwik Trip, the popular convenience store chain based in La Crosse, Wisconsin, has announced that its highly anticipated Little Falls, Minnesota location is expected to open in October. The new store will be one of Kwik Trip's full-scale locations, offering residents a wide range of products and services that the company is known for, including coffee, bakery items, and quick groceries.

Why it matters

The opening of a Kwik Trip in Little Falls is a big deal for the community, as residents have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the popular chain for years. The new store will provide a convenient option for locals, who previously had to travel to the nearest Kwik Trip location in Sauk Rapids.

The details

The new Kwik Trip store will be located on the east side of Little Falls, just north of Highway 27, between 16th Street NE and 18th Street NE. The city has been working through a number of logistical hurdles to make the project possible, including sorting out easements, road access, and stormwater management. The development will also bring updates to the surrounding infrastructure, including roadway improvements and drainage systems.

  • Kwik Trip has announced that the Little Falls location is expected to open in October 2026.
