About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he approached the cooler, a stray cat would dash inside and disappear behind the bottles. The next morning, no sign of the feline remained. Curious, the driver decided to check again later. Sure enough, another cat appeared, darted into the cooler—and emerged moments later with a cold soda in its paws! Turns out it was just a clever neighborhood cat, leaving everyone with a quirky memory and a free drink.

2. At QuikTrip one morning, a regular exclaimed, ‘Did you see that gas pump just winked at me?’ The clerk shook their head, but soon enough, everyone in line started noticing strange glints from the nozzles. Soon enough, an excited delivery driver declared he heard whispers coming from his tank. Before long, QuikTrip became famous for its flirtatious pumps. But the best part? When a neighbor asked why her car was smiling back at her, the clerk simply replied, 'Welcome to QuikTrip—where every fill-up’s a date!'

3. At QuikTrip one afternoon, a customer swore he heard an old-timey radio playing faintly from inside the store. No one else could make it out, but the sound grew louder and clearer each day. Finally, on the fifth day, everyone in the neighborhood gathered around QuikTrip, earphones in hand, dancing along to the vintage tunes. Turned out it was just the store manager’s old Walkman, stuck on replay. Everyone had a good laugh—except maybe him.

4. At QuikTrip one day, a delivery driver found an old, dusty harmonica in the back of the store. He blew into it, and suddenly everyone in line started singing along—until they realized no music was playing. Finally, an older gentleman approached the counter and asked if anyone had seen his harmonica. Turns out he’d left it there years ago after a particularly rough day. The whole place erupted in laughter as the delivery driver sheepishly returned the instrument, and from that day on, whenever someone forgot something at QuikTrip, people joked, ‘Maybe it’s the harmonica calling you back!’
