WLACC Welcomes New Member
We are happy to welcome
Kwik Trip as our newest member. With three locations opening in Willmar in 2018-2019, they strive to be highly involved in the Communities that they serve. Kwik Trip opened its first location in 1965 and by 2013, opened its 400th location! Growing rapidly, they pride themselves on offering the freshest foods and keeping prices low by making many things themselves, through their own dairy, bakery and kitchens. The new Highway 12 location will open August 16th and the First Street location will be opening in late September. The downtown location will begin construction in 2019. Stop into their temporary office by the former Deidra's location to say hello and welcome them or to inquire about career opportunities.
