"Glazers are puffy, pillowy donuts made specifically by Kwik Trip and sold out of Kwik Trip convenience stores across Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, South Dakota, and North Dakota. Included in our ranking of U.S. convenience stores with the best food, Kwik Trip's donuts come from a central bakery located in La Crosse, Wisconsin. The bakery makes about 2,400 pounds of dough per hour to single-handedly supply the donuts for more than 850 Kwik Trip stores."
"The Glazers begin as fresh dough, which is then flattened on a conveyor belt and punched into the classically round shape, proofed until perfectly fluffy, and then whisked away for a golden fryer bath. While they're still warm, the Glazers are moved under a waterfall of sweet glaze and hand packaged into boxes of six to ensure high quality with every batch."
"Kwik Trip was established in 1965, but Glazers weren't introduced until 2003. The tiny temptations spent an entire year in the research phase before they made it into consumers' hands. Now, customers can't get enough of them. Kwik Trip sold about 45 million donuts in 2023 and increased those sales by 2 million donuts for a total of 47 million in 2024."
