Kwik Trip Adopts Penny-Free Policy, Rounding Down to the Nearest 5 Cents
Kwik Trip will round down cash purchases to the nearest five cents as pennies become unavailable, continuing this policy until legislation provides a permanent solution.
- On Oct 2, 2025, Kwik Trip's convenience store chain said it will phase out pennies and round cash purchases down to the nearest five cents at its 900 locations.
- Following the Mint's final order of penny blanks, government officials say each coin now costs two cents or more to produce, prompting the U.S. Department of Treasury to end penny production.
- Registers will automatically apply the new rounding as Kwik Trip said its register systems update affects guests paying with cash, while digital and card transactions remain processed at exact amounts.
- Scott Zietlow, president and CEO of Kwik Trip, said the policy will remain until legislation is enacted, and apologized, saying `At Kwik Trip, we re committed to making everyday transactions simple and fair`.
- Serving almost 12 million people every week, Kwik Trip’s stores in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois and South Dakota will adopt cash rounding as penny supplies run out at different times.
