Boring Company investigates the inner workings of overlooked businesses and founders within bland industries and the reasons behind their success.
Today, we will be discussing QuikTrip (QT), a juggernaut in the convenience store business. QuikTrip is the 17th largest private company by revenue and a phenomenally run business. Despite this impressive feat, the success and learning lessons from QuikTrip are rarely discussed and I hope this episode sheds light on QT and its founder's greatness.
