Both QuickTrip and Love's are outstanding chains. Is there something in the Oklahoma water that causes this?

For the good old American lifestyle: For the money, for the glory, and for the fun... mostly for the money.
And yet, in OKC, we have 5 Love's, 0 QTs and 184,382 ****ty-*** 7-11s.
We have always known that heedless self-interest was bad morals; we know now that it is bad economics. FDR.
There is also OnCue which is kind of a QT clone.....
The OKC 7-11's are better than the Southland ones....of course that isn't setting the bar very high.
I figured out QT's secret. The founder decided early on he would hire enough quality people per store to ensure there was always at last one guy or girl free to clean and straighten.
Ditto "Loves," although they tend to be a little rattier than QT's. Prolly because of all the truckers washing their drawers in the sink and taking showers and such.
OTOH, most mom and pop quikie-marts have one person behind the register and if the terlit is overflowing into the snack aisle, well, that's just too bad.
"Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever they can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser; in fees, expenses and waste of time." -- Abraham Lincoln, (1809-1865) Lawyer and President who saved the United States.
"Without opportunities on the part of the poor to obtain expert legal advice, it is idle to talk of equality before the law"-- Justice Chas. Evans Hughes
Why? Prolly because Oklahoma has the intersection of 3 major trucking routes.
i'd cut any of you for a QuikTrip in Norman
seriously though, i liked them better when they were smaller.
^this..I-44, I-40, I-35....plus the old Route 66 highway. You wouldn't believe how many foreigners come to America just to travel Route 66. A couple of years ago Paul McCartney and his squeeze traveled it alone from Chicago to California.Originally Posted by Ike

Man, I'm pining for a Love's up here in Minneapolis just so I can purchase Robertson's Beef Jerky. Maybe the most perfect food stuff ever created!
