LA CROSSE, Wis. (WBAY) - Kwik Trip announced it’s getting rid of pennies at its 900 convenience stores.

Instead, cash transactions will be rounded down to the nearest five cents, to the advantage of customers paying in cash. Credit card and digital transactions will remain the same.

For example, a $1.04 cash purchase in the store will round down to $1.00, but a credit card purchase of $1.04 will still cost you $1.04.

Kwik Trip says stores will enact the new cash transaction policy as their penny supplies are exhausted, indicating stores will be going “penniless” at different times.

“This change reflects our ongoing focus on guest experience. We apologize for any confusion this may create for our guests” president/CEO Scott Zietlow said.
