Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, Kwik Trip is continuing to expand development and staffing of its food production and support campus in La Crosse, a project that has earned an additional $5 million in performance-based tax incentives from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) .
“Kwik Trip is a Wisconsin success story,” said Missy Hughes, secretary and CEO of WEDC. “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.”
Kwik Trip, which operates 456 stores in Wisconsin and is known for creating its own line of food products, was awarded up to $21 million in tax credits in 2017 for its expansion. At that time, the company anticipated hiring at least 329 new workers and investing at least $309 million in the project, and WEDC created an Enterprise Zone to assist with that growth.
