About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when Kwik Trip’s neon sign glowed brightly, a delivery driver noticed something odd. Every night, for exactly three minutes after closing, an old man appeared from nowhere and whispered into the cash register before vanishing just as quickly. Finally, on his last night of work, the delivery driver decided to stay late. Sure enough, at midnight the old man materialized, whispered something, and vanished again. Curious, the driver peeked inside the register—only to discover that every night, the old man had been leaving behind a single coin. The next morning, the manager found a note: ‘Thanks for your service, Kwik Trip!’

2. In the dead of night, when most gas stations were asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to Kwik Trip. The parking lot was eerily quiet until he heard it—a soft humming sound coming from inside. Curious, he approached the door and peered through the window. Inside, an old radio played softly, and a shadowy figure danced along to the beat. ‘What in the world?’ muttered the driver. Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic janitor having his midnight dance party. A regular sight at Kwik Trip.

3. Late one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Kwik Trip and noticed an odd smell wafting from the bathroom. Curious but cautious, he peered inside only to find a small army of ants marching in perfect formation across the counter. The delivery driver watched, amused yet perplexed, until one ant marched right up to him and gave a little salute with its antennae. He laughed out loud, shook his head, and decided it was time for a coffee break. After all, what else does one do when faced with such an unusual sight?

4. Late one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Kwik Trip and noticed an old, dusty bicycle leaning against the storefront. Curious, he picked it up—it felt heavier than expected—and found an ancient map inside its basket. As he unfolded the map, he saw an arrow pointing to a spot near the gas pumps. Smiling, he thought, 'What could it mean?' That night, after closing, he returned with a flashlight. To his surprise, there was a hidden compartment under the pump. Inside lay a rusted can of gasoline and a note reading: "For emergencies only—use wisely!" The next day, everyone in town knew about Kwik Trip's secret emergency fuel supply.
