TULSA, Okla. — Convenience-store retailer QuikTrip Cop. has become the latest chain to introduce a line of fall-themed menu items to kick off the new season.

  • Tulsa, Okla.-based QuikTrip operates approximately 820 convenience stores in 11 states. It is No. 11 on CSP’s 2020 Top 202 ranking of c-store chains by number of company-owned retail outlets.

Leading QuikTrip’s line of fall Snackles—QuikTrip’s phrase for a part snack, part meal item—is its Pumpkin Pretzel, which is a hot, soft pretzel topped with a sweet cinnamon and sugar blend and stuffed with pumpkin filling. The pretzel also comes with a choice of dipping sauce. Other Snackles products include the Pumpkin QT Twister, a milkshake featuring soft-serve vanilla ice cream and pumpkin syrup; and the QuikShake, a milkshake made with soft-serve vanilla ice cream and blended pumpkin flavoring.

QuikTrip is also launching a variety of fall-themed coffees, including the Pumpkin Frappe, a creamy, frozen blend with pumpkin flavored syrup; the Hot Pumpkin Latte, a double shot of espresso mixed with steamed and frothed milk and pumpkin flavored syrup; the Iced Pumpkin Latte, a double shot of espresso mixed with steamed and frothed milk, pumpkin flavored syrup and served over ice; and Cold Brew Coffee, which has been ground, steeped and held cold for 12 hours to create an extra smooth coffee served over ice, with the choice to add sweet cream and pumpkin flavor.

“Nothing says fall like pumpkin—beverages, coffee and treats,” QuikTrip said. “This fall, QT is bringing back its line of pumpkin Snackles which will be offered in all QT Kitchens locations.”
