About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Kwik Trip late one night, a delivery driver swore he heard someone whispering in the dark tunnel behind the car wash. ‘It’s just my imagination,’ he thought, but every time he returned, the whispers grew louder. Finally, one evening after hours, a curious mechanic decided to investigate. Peering into the shadows, he saw nothing but old tires and empty buckets. Turns out, it was just the wind rustling through some abandoned tarps. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Kwik Trip, everyone laughed and said, 'Oh, you mean that place where the ghost loves carwashes?'

2. At Kwik Trip early morning, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Daddy, look! Is that a ghost?’ Her dad shook his head, but couldn’t help glancing over as a shadowy figure seemed to flicker briefly in the carwash tunnel. Just then, an old delivery driver emerged from the tunnel, wiping soapy hands on his apron. He smiled sheepishly and said, 'Morning, folks! Just finishing up—nothing to see here!' The little girl giggled, her father relaxed, and they drove off, leaving behind only a few drops of water and a good story for neighbors.

3. At dawn, while a regular was filling up his truck, he noticed something odd: every time he looked in his rearview mirror, the reflection of the gas pump seemed to smile back at him. Curious, he pulled into Kwik Trip’s car wash and asked the attendant if anyone else had seen it. The guy just shrugged and said, ‘Oh, that? That’s just old Mr. Clean over there, waving hello.’ As the man drove off, he couldn’t help but wonder if maybe his own rearview mirror needed cleaning…

4. At Kwik Trip one foggy morning, a customer pulled in for gas and noticed an unfamiliar sign on the pump: 'Fill your tank with luck today—add $1.99 for extra!' Curious, our neighbor decided to try it out. After filling up, he drove off, and sure enough—a moment later, his day got even luckier when he found a twenty-dollar bill on the ground! The story spread quickly around town, and soon everyone was stopping at Kwik Trip for their daily dose of fortune. But no matter how much you paid, the real magic always seemed to happen to someone else.
