GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) — After Thursday nights third shift, which goes into Friday morning, the Kwik Trip at 515 W. Walnut Street near downtown Green Bay will no longer have overnight hours.
No exact reasons were given for the change, but Green Bay Common Council President, Brian Johnson, says certain behaviors occur at businesses with overnight hours.
“Late night hours sometimes attract individuals that maybe have been out and have had too much [to drink], I don’t think it’s any secret that sex trafficking is a real thing, and those activities often occur in parking lots when businesses are open,” said Johnson. “Also, panhandling continues to be an issue in our downtown.”
Johnson added that management at this Kwik Trip location has always been proactive with calls for service; and that Kwik Trip’s conditional use permit (CUP) would not prohibit them from reversing this decision in the future.
kwik Trip’s new hours will be daily from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. However, overnight unattended fueling will remain available, which means canopy lights and dispensers will stay on.
