Midnight Run

While spending time on social media, I came across a post in the Wichita Food & Booze group about a store called Midnight Run. It was a negative review about a convenience store at 1702 S. Broadway. I forget exactly what the complaint about, but it was something about credit card minimums on purchase. People were then quick to judge the store even though most people probably never even stepped foot inside the store.

If you’ve been following my page for some time, I’m not opposed to stepping into any building in Wichita to experience things for myself. After all, you’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover…. right?

Midnight Run is located near Harry and Broadway. Upon arriving, I noticed there were metal bars at the door and even along the windows, so I walked in with peace of mind of added protection. Or knowing I could be trapped inside forever.

Upon walking inside, I was floored. Not by the extremely safe metal bars, but the sheer number of items you could buy. Let’s run it down.

You need snacks? You want crackers? Maybe even candy? Midnight Run has it all, ranging from Airheads to sour patch to cotton candy in a cup, to Club snack stacks.

There’s even high-end snacks like Oreo Cakesters, gushers, and full-size Snickers bars. Best of all, if you eat so many snacks that your pants don’t fit anymore, you can pick up a brand-new belt in all sorts of colors!

Need doughnuts or Slim Jims or chips after realizing you have more waistline room after that new belt? Boom. Midnight Run is there for you.

Does your shirt not match that new colored belt? Boom. Midnight Run has a handful of new tops all unfolded on a table. There’s even Priority Mail boxes underneath so you can mail your old belt to Goodwill.

Are you lonely and need a new friend? Midnight Run carries mannequin heads that you can carry around and talk to regularly. Best of all, the heads don’t talk back.

Low on shaving cream, Aim toothpaste, BBQ sauce (including A1!!!!), washer fluid, maybe even name brand dish soap like Cascade? No need to stop shopping at Midnight Run because they have that too!!!!

Thirsty? Gatorade, Faygo, orange juice, bottled water, it’s all “Chilled and Refreshing” as advertised on their fridge doors.

Not feeling hungry? Well, there are products to help you get hungry.

And after those products get you hungry, there are some of the best frozen food munchies in the freezer, like hot pockets, burritos, White castle sliders, Uncrustables, and more!

If you get tired from all of that shopping, grab a seat and play some games!

Literally, Midnight Run has it all.

Well, not everything, they don’t offer massages. But if you step outside the convenience store and look to the east, there’s a business immediately next door called Massage. They are open all day long and even have cameras out front for, you called it, all that added protection. But if you need the other type of protection for your massage, you have to go back inside Midnight Run and purchase that.

For the record, I did make a purchase that was under $4, and they let me use my card. So I can confirm there’s no credit card minimum.

Midnight Run is located at 1702 S. Broadway. The store is listed as being open 24 hours a day and accepts credit cards, debit cards and NFC mobile payments.
