About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unseasonably cold morning when a delivery driver pulled up to QuikTrip with his truck's heater blasting. As he stepped inside for coffee, he noticed something odd: the thermometer outside read seventy degrees warmer than usual. He ordered his coffee and took a sip—only to realize it tasted suspiciously like gasoline. Turns out, someone had accidentally left the tanker truck’s faucet open while filling up. The delivery driver chuckled as he walked back outside, thinking, ‘At least I’ll never be cold again!’
2. A little boy walked into QuikTrip one afternoon, puzzled and wide-eyed. His mother had just paid for gas, but instead of leaving, she started chatting with someone behind the counter—someone who wasn’t there before. Suddenly, a delivery driver appeared from nowhere, grinning sheepishly. 'Hey kid,' he said, 'I was just showing your mom our secret shortcut through the back.' The boy giggled, realizing it was all a big joke. Moments later, they were on their way home, laughing together.
3. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to QuikTrip. The neon sign flickered ominously in the pre-dawn light, as if warning him not to enter. He opened the door cautiously, and inside, amidst the dim glow of early-morning lights, he found a regular waiting with an empty cup. ‘Morning,’ said the regular cheerfully. ‘Did you bring my usual?’ The delivery driver smiled sheepishly and nodded, handing over the coffee. They both laughed, and that was how the morning routine began—even before the sunrise.
4. At dusk, when most drivers were heading home, a delivery driver pulled up to QuikTrip. The gas pump screen suddenly flashed: ‘TODAY IS YOUR LUCKY DAY! FREE COFFEE FOR ALL!’ The delivery driver grinned and said, "Finally, someone understands my love for coffee!" He filled his tank, grabbed two cups, and started handing out free brews to everyone who stopped by. By midnight, QuikTrip was buzzing with happy customers, and it became known as the place where late-night coffee runs turned into impromptu parties. The next morning, the sign simply read: 'QUIKTRIP—WHERE EVEN THE COMPUTER THINKS YOU’RE LUCKY!'
