Behind The Scene Look At How Kwik Trip Makes Their Popular Glazer Donuts

If you grew up in the 80s, you know that having to pee while on a road trip meant that you had to walk into some pretty unsavory bathrooms to do your business.  Kwik Trip is the complete opposite of that childhood bathroom trauma.  And Kwik Trip has donuts!

Dunkers are a huge favorite at my house.  We are fans of the cherry flavor but pink lemonade and the newest banana flavor have caught our taste buds as well.  But Dunkers aren't the only donuts that are flying off the shelves at Kwik Trip.

Glazer donuts are a classic that reminds me of a Krispy Kreme.  People obviously love them too because about 47 million Glazer donuts are made each year by Kwik Trip at its baking facility in La Crosse.

To see the entire process from ingredients to box, the video below by Wisconsin Foodie walks you through it.  Here are a few photos to tease you too...

The Banana Ripening Room at Kwik Trip is Massive!

A few years ago, Dunken on 106.9 KROC, went on a trip I've been dreaming about...he took a tour of the Kwik Trip headquarters in La Crosse, Wisconsin.  While he was there, he saw the room where all of the bananas are kept that are sold at Kwik Trip stores.

How many bananas are sold each year by Kwik Trip?  According to the story he wrote about his tour, Kwik Trip sells 35 million pounds.  Take that bunch of bananas that are sitting on your counter and multiply it by...I have no idea...I don't have to do math any more.

Go on the same tour he did and watch the video here where you can see the multitude of boxes of bananas that are waiting to show up at your favorite Kwik Trip location.
