About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver asked an odd question: ‘Why does that old man always whisper “fuel up” when he pays?’ The next day, everyone in town was talking about it. Turns out, the old man was just reminding himself to fill his tank before heading home. As for the delivery driver? He learned never to assume anything—and always ask again if someone whispers something strange.

2. At QuikTrip early in the morning, a sleepy clerk heard someone whispering from outside the closed store. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw only empty parking lots. But then, a voice repeated softly: 'Do you know why gas pumps never ask for ID?' Smiling to himself, the clerk shrugged it off as just another late-night mystery. Later that day, an old man came in to fill his tank. ‘Hey,’ said the customer, ‘do you still get those funny whispers?’ The clerk laughed, ‘Nope, but I bet if you ask any pump here, they’ll tell you the same thing!’

3. At dawn, when few people are awake, a regular stopped by QuikTrip for coffee. The clerk noticed something unusual: every time he ordered, the cash register played a different old song from his childhood. Finally, one morning the regular asked, ‘What song will you play if I buy three coffees?’ The clerk grinned and replied, ‘Probably something really old—like your great-grandma’s favorite!’ And indeed, an ancient tune filled the air as they both laughed, realizing it was time for some nostalgic fun.

4. At QuikTrip during a storm, a nervous customer asked: 'Do you sell lightning insurance?' The clerk smiled and replied, ‘We only sell gas and snacks here.’ A delivery driver chimed in, ‘But if you buy enough of our slushies, maybe lightning won’t strike!’ Everyone laughed, and the storm rumbled on outside.
