Tulsa-based QuikTrip has become a leading employer in the region and is making its mark as a national company. The company, which began in 1958 in Tulsa, has grown to become a powerful corporate citizen in every area in which it operates and now has 460 stores. The company enjoys over $5 billion in sales annually and is ranked 32nd on the Forbes List of Privately Held Companies.
Very impressive about QuikTrip is its commitment to the community through employee relations, excellent landscaping, customer satisfaction, maintenance, safety and store efficiency. Once a QuikTrip convenience store is open, the company will spend over $50,000 a year just on things like landscaping, remodeling and maintenance. A quality appearance for its customers, neighbors and the overall community is an important part of QuikTrip’s business.
QuikTrip hires people who are on a career track. The company gives them ongoing training, pays the best wages for their jobs in the convenience store industry, and promotes to new jobs from within. With rapid expansion of convenience stores, there are great jobs and employment opportunities for full and part time jobs. For three years, QuikTrip convenience stores have been named by Fortune Magazine as one of the 100 Best Companies To Work For.
When walking into QuikTrip convenience stores, customers meet friendly and helpful store employees. The convenience stores are clean and well-lighted. Merchandise is fresh and easy to find. Most important, customers can sense the overall attitude of a convenience store company doing the job right. Every time one visits the QuikTrip convenience stores, he or she knows why they have an enviable national reputation for quality and customer service.
Thank you, QuikTrip, for being a company of quality and a company that does things right.
