For the second year in a row, Quik-Trip has placed first in a nationwide study of customer satisfaction with convenience stores.

The study, conducted by Market Force Information, polled 5,000 shoppers and ranked 83 convenience store chains. Market Force Information first conducted the study last year.

Chet Cadieux, QuikTrip’s chairman and CEO, said in a press release he’s thrilled at the company’s second top honor, and said much of the credit goes to the retailer’s employees.

“Fast and friendly service has always been a passion at QuikTrip and we are determined to exceed the customer’s expectations in every interaction,” he said. “It’s great to see our customer focus is validated by this survey.”

QuikTrip’s composite satisfaction score in the survey was 79 percent. The company also placed first on all the composite score’s attributes, including friendly service, fast service, clean bathrooms and clean interior and exterior.

Mike Thornbrugh, a spokesman at QuikTrip, said he believes this survey in particular validates the company’s consumer-focused approach.
