About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to QuikTrip and noticed an unusual sign on the counter: ‘Free coffee for anyone who can guess why our gas pumps are shaped like kangaroos.’ Curiosity piqued, he walked in and heard over the loudspeaker: ‘Who wants free coffee today?’ A regular customer stood up and confidently declared, 'Because you're from Down Under!' The crowd burst into laughter as the manager shook his head and announced, 'Actually, because they’re easier to clean than traditional pumps.' The delivery driver looked puzzled but accepted his free cup of joe with a smile. Moral of the story? Never underestimate the power of local lore.

2. In the early hours of dawn, when most gas stations are quiet ashes, a delivery driver pulled into QuikTrip. The neon lights flickered eerily in the misty air, casting shadows on the empty pumps. As he approached the counter, the clerk, a sleepy-eyed old timer named Joe, yawned and asked, 'What’ll you be having today, son?' With a straight face, the delivery driver replied, ‘Just some coffee, Joe—nothing too fast!’ They both burst out laughing, and it was another ordinary morning at QuikTrip after all.

3. One day, while pumping gas after school, little Timmy noticed something odd: every time he filled up his dad’s truck, the price on the pump changed just before zeroing out—leaving exactly twenty cents extra in the tank. Curious, Timmy told no one but himself to keep it a secret. Months later, whenever anyone asked why their tanks always had that extra twenty cents, Timmy would smile and say, 'Oh, QuikTrip must love us!' Turned out, it was just an old malfunction—a friendly ghost in the machine.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled into QuikTrip for a quick fill-up. The usual hum of pumps gave way to a strange, rhythmic tapping sound coming from inside the station's office. Curious, he peeked inside and saw an old cash register playing a game of solitaire. ‘What the—?’ he whispered. Suddenly, the computer screen lit up with a message: “Thanks for visiting QuikTrip! Have a great night!” The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, refueling and heading home, wondering if maybe he’d been too long without sleep.
