About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up at QuikTrip, a regular noticed something odd in one of the shopping carts near the pumps—a small, dusty teddy bear wearing an old baseball cap. No one claimed it, and soon other curious items appeared: an abandoned briefcase with a single pen inside, a forgotten lunchbox filled with expired sandwiches. Soon enough, a delivery driver arrived with a crate full of old board games. Word spread quickly among customers, who started dropping off their own forgotten treasures. Before long, QuikTrip became a quirky little thrift store where everyone could find a piece of someone else’s past. And every now and then, when you fill up your tank there, you might just discover that life is full of unexpected surprises—like winning a game of Monopoly or finding out your gas costs less than coffee elsewhere.

2. At dawn, while pumping gas at QuikTrip, a delivery driver heard an eerie humming coming from inside the station's vending machine. Curious, he opened it and found only packets of expired chips and dust. Turns out, the hum was just an old air-conditioning unit playing dead. Since then, whenever someone asks about strange noises at night, everyone in town jokes that maybe it's QuikTrip’s ghostly snack attack.

3. While checking out at QuikTrip late at night, a cashier swore she saw a shadowy figure disappear into thin air behind the counter. Curious, she glanced around but found nothing unusual. The next morning, her supervisor joked that maybe it was just an overactive imagination or a prankster customer. Turns out, it was neither—just an errant cat from the neighborhood who liked hanging out in the store’s shadows. Ever since then, whenever anyone mentions ghost sightings at QuikTrip, everyone smiles and nods knowingly.

4. While pumping gas at QuikTrip, a delivery driver spotted a mysterious shadowy figure reflected in the car window. Curious, he glanced around but saw nothing. Just as he was about to shrug it off, the figure leaned closer, and suddenly—it was just his neighbor’s dog, peeking through the window from inside another car. Everyone had a good laugh, and now both neighbors stop for gas together every Wednesday afternoon.
