Packers and Kwik Trip renew multi-year partnership

(WSAW) - The Green Bay Packers and Kwik Trip have announced a multi-year partnership renewal.

“We’re pleased to extend our longstanding partnership with Kwik Trip,” Packers VP of Sales & Business Development Craig Benzel said. “Kwik Trip’s deep Wisconsin roots and dedication to providing consistent and excellent service makes them a fan-favorite.”

The long-term partnership extension is highlighted by Kwik Trip’s continued sponsorship of the Kwik Trip Gate at Lambeau Field on the stadium’s northwest side and prominently features as the entry to the stadium from Titletown.

Kwik Trip’s renowned Café Karuba coffee will remain the “Official Coffee of the Green Bay Packers, Lambeau Field, and the Frozen Tundra,” with their coffee and hot chocolate being served at Lambeau Field concession stands, on the stadium’s premium levels, and at Lambeau Field Events.

The partnership also invites fans to take advantage of the Kwik Rewards App to earn Packers Fan Zone points, which can be redeemed for a chance to win a wide array of prizes and experiences.

“In addition to serving our great tasting Café Karuba Coffee and Hot Chocolate at Lambeau Field, Kwik Trip will be offering opportunities to Packers fans throughout the season to win game tickets, experiences, and fantastic prizes through the Fan Zone on the Kwik Rewards App,” Mark Meisner, Kwik Trip’s vice president of marketing and advertising, said.
