New QuikTrip: The Happiest Place on Earth

Local, Pictures

I hit the 15th and Denver QuikTrip for a late night snack. The new store is open. It’s huge and unbelievably nice. I was in awe, and so were the other customers at the time. I took a couple of photos.

They have a selection of about 8 or so iced teas and multiple choices for lemonades:

I believe they had to invent a dozen new Freezoni flavors for the frozen drink area:

The iced tea center is straight ahead in this view, the frozen drink theme park is to the left; beer is all the way back and to the right, the checkout counter is to the left (you can see the back of the line), and to the right is — I kid you not — the soft serve and coffee shop. You make your selection on a touchscreen kiosk. I don’t know if it’s open 24 hours, but it was definitely staffed at 12:30 AM tonight.

A view from the other side of the store. You can sorta make out the gigantic flat screens that are inset to the wall around the coffee shop counter for some reason.

This place is seriously epic.

So apparently the church next door to the Coffee House on Cherry Street has gotten tired of coffee shop customers parking in their otherwise empty parking lot. This seems a bit heavy-handed to me, but, hey, it’s their right, I suppose.

In other, related, news, I’ve been back at the coffee shop lately. I sat and chatted with James while reading the new Terry Pratchett book, Nation, for nearly 5 hours today. It was fun. The book is a tad more serious than I’m used to reading from Pratchett, but it’s quite good.

In other news, it turns out that the way to get trash removed from the halls of Kep in a hurry is to stack it in front of the door to a lab whose occupants want desperately to prove that the lab is in use.
