About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to Kwik Trip’s back door with a heavy sigh. As he stepped inside, something caught his eye—a shadowy figure standing near the vending machines. The shadowy figure turned out to be just an old man in a hoodie, humming softly to himself as he sorted through some cans. ‘Looking for a snack?’ he asked, grinning mischievously. The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, grabbing a bag of chips. They chatted amiably until closing time, becoming regulars whenever they were both on duty.

2. One morning, as a little girl approached Kwik Trip’s gas station, she pointed excitedly and asked her mom, ‘Mommy, why does that sign keep changing colors?’ Her mother smiled and replied gently, 'Honey, it's just a special light that changes color to attract customers.' The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then blurted out, 'But mommy, doesn't it get tired of always moving?' Everyone around them burst into laughter, including the delivery driver who overheard their conversation.

3. At dawn, when most stations were just opening their doors, an old man walked into Kwik Trip carrying a basket filled with freshly baked bread. The cashier smiled and asked if he wanted anything else. The old man replied, 'Just fill up my tank with whatever you got—oh, and could you please put some of that fresh bread in my car?' As the attendant pumped gas, he noticed the old man's basket was now empty except for one lone crumb. Turns out, it was a regular who always paid with his smile and never took anything but air.

4. At sunrise, when most people are still dreaming, a neighbor noticed something odd outside Kwik Trip. A small dog kept appearing from behind the gas pumps, always carrying a newspaper in its mouth. Curious, the neighbor followed the dog and found an old man inside, dozing off with a pile of newspapers around him. Turned out he was just a regular who’d been sneaking free papers for years—nobody knew why, but everyone loved his sense of humor. The next morning, the dog returned with another paper, leaving it neatly on the counter as if nothing had happened.
