About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Kwik Trip late one night, a regular noticed something odd: every time he paid with cash, the clerk’s nametag would mysteriously change from ‘Jake’ to ‘Jack.’ No one else seemed to notice, but whenever kids or pets entered, they’d point and giggle at Jake’s new name. One day, an old neighbor walked in and asked why everyone was laughing at Jake’s nametag. The clerk calmly explained that it was just a typo—‘Jake’ had always been written as ‘Jack’ on his tag. Everyone burst out laughing, realizing how silly they looked pointing fingers. From then on, Kwik Trip became known for its friendly staff… and occasional mix-ups.

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are empty, a delivery driver pulled up to Kwik Trip and saw an unusual sight: a small dog had crawled under the counter and was playing with a plastic cup. The delivery driver smiled and picked up another cup from behind the counter. He gently placed it next to the little dog, who happily continued his game. A few minutes later, a regular customer walked in, glanced at the scene, and said, ‘Morning Joe, looks like your pal is already here!’

3. At Kwik Trip early in the morning, an employee heard a strange noise coming from the back room. Curious, she peeked inside and saw a small dog anxiously sniffing around the cash register. The dog seemed lost, so the employee took it out front. Just then, an old man walked in for his morning coffee. ‘Hey,’ he said, rubbing his eyes, ‘is that my dog?’ Turns out, the canine was a regular who often napped in the car while waiting for his owner. Everyone had a good laugh.

4. At dawn, when most gas stations are empty, a delivery driver pulled up to Kwik Trip and noticed something unusual on the parking lot. Among discarded coffee cups and crumpled newspapers lay a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. Curious, he picked it up and found inside an old thermos filled with steaming coffee and a note scribbled in pencil: ‘For our loyal customer, enjoy!’ Turned out, it was just a friendly neighborhood prank from someone who appreciated Kwik Trip’s early hours.
