Spencer, IA (KICD)– It took some additional time to finalize, but the City of Spencer has approved a development contract that will bring Kwik Star to the north side of town.

The council was joined in regular session Monday night by Kacie Bonjour, the Real Estate manager for Kwik Trip Incorporated. She shared some of the company’s rich history noting it it still a family owned business that continues to expand.

Bonjour says Kwik Trip and Kwik Star take pride in the entire process of product development to store delivery.

Ground for the Kwik Star is expected to be broken next June making it the first publicly announced agreement for the North Y Gateway project, but in the meantime Engineer Jim Thiesse says work is continuing to move forward on the rest of the land in preparation for additional growth.

Thiesse notes the current plan is to continue working at the site to prepare for paving work which could begin to take place in the next couple of weeks.
