QuikTrip is on a mission to revolutionize its self-serve beverage program—calling it a “Bevolution.”
The c-store retailer’s refreshed dispensed beverage program includes updated machines for its tea, fountain and frozen drinks that will roll out across its markets in 21 states.
“The remodels are currently underway and should be complete by summer 2026,” Aisha Jefferson, the convenience-store chain’s corporate communications manager, told CSP.
With the new digital fountain drink machine (pictured above), customers will be able to choose from over 40 flavors. It will also allow for limited-time offers and seasonal flavors to be available more readily, the company said.
“The fountain technology we are really excited about,” said Ryan Boone, QuikTrip’s corporate chef. “We think it looks beautiful, but more importantly it pours a really great glass of soda every time.”
QuikTrip said the installation of the fountain drink machine will also ease crowding during peak times.
“The change to a digital touchscreen is going to improve congestion,” Boone said.
The fresh-brewed custom-designed tea machine was one of the 2025 Kitchen Innovation award winner from the National Restaurant Association. QuikTrip said the machines are designed to offer a variety of teas, including green tea. The machines also include at the touch of a button adjustable sweetness levels and new zero-sugar sweeteners. Flavor add-ins of lemon and lime will also be available.
The new frozen drink machine (pictured above) allows a single barrel to dispense four completely different flavors, including sour apple and banana cream.
Looking to continue to be a dominant beverage destination, Boone said Bevolution can take QuikTrip’s beverage offerings to an even higher level.
“With this new technology it’s been really fun to offer so many more products than we were able to offer before, which was already a very large number,” Boone said.
