We thought about it and figured there was only one way we'd be able to ensure that our customers could swing into any QT - at any time - and pick up the highest-quality, freshest prepared foods in town: Do it ourselves.

Introducing QuikTrip's signature commissary and sparkling tribute to freshness, QT Kitchens! It's the only one of its kind in the business and operates under the watchful eye of professionally trained chefs and bakers.

It was no small investment, but we're pretty sure you'll think it was all worth it when you try our handcrafted sandwiches and wraps. Or bite into one of our delectable pastries, cookies and muffins. We are committed to using only the highest quality ingredients and all of our QT Kitchens creations are delivered fresh daily to your favorite QT.

But speaking of cookies, this is no cookie cutter operation. The meticulously clean facility, the environmentally controlled delivery trucks, and the precisely calibrated coolers were all specifically designed for QuikTrip. And our own people constantly - even obsessively - monitor the quality, temperature and freshness of the ingredients in all of our products. Do you get the sense that we have control issues? We kinda do.

The end result of all of this fanaticism is delightfully simple: Fresh, fresh, fresh. All QT Kitchens products are guaranteed fresh every single day. So, if it's deliciously fresh food you're looking for, rest assured, you won't find it any fresher - or quicker - than here at QuikTrip. Bon appetit!

Where can you get QT Kitchens products? Pastries, sandwiches and wraps are currently available in most Tulsa, Kansas City, Wichita, Des Moines and Omaha QuikTrip stores. All other QuikTrip markets will follow in the next two years.
