Kwik Trip Begins Rounding Down Cash Purchases to the Nearest Nickel

This move responds to Treasury's halt of penny production pending a permanent policy.

Overview

  • All Kwik Trip and Kwik Star stores now round down cash totals to the nearest five cents as an interim measure.
  • Company registers have been updated to apply the rounding automatically at checkout.
  • Digital and card transactions continue to be charged at exact prices with no rounding.
  • Pennies remain legal tender and can be used, though cash totals will still be rounded down by the system.
  • Kwik Trip says the policy will stay in place until federal guidance or legislation is finalized, with CEO Scott Zietlow emphasizing simplicity and apologizing for any confusion.
