About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when QuikTrip is usually empty, a delivery driver noticed something strange. A regular’s car was parked outside, its engine running, but no one inside. Curious, the driver approached the car and saw only an open cupholder with half-drunk coffee. Turns out, the regular had left his pet goldfish in charge of paying for gas—poor thing tried to use its fins on the credit card reader.
2. At midnight, when most gas stations are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to QuikTrip and saw an odd sight: a neighbor filling up their car with milk. Curious, he asked what the neighbor was doing. With a straight face, the man replied, ‘I ran out of gas, so I filled up my tank with milk from the grocery section.’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiled, and thought to himself, ‘maybe next time he’ll grab some snacks too!’
3. At dusk, while filling up at QuikTrip, a customer asked curiously: ‘Why does that old man always wave at me from behind the counter?’ The clerk smiled and whispered, ‘He’s just our resident good-luck charm. Sees something special in everyone who comes through.’ The next day, the curious customer returned with a smile, waving back at the old man—who was now happily chatting with a delivery driver outside.
4. At night, when QuikTrip’s pumps hummed softly, an employee overheard a regular whispering into his phone: ‘I’m telling you, it talks back.’ Curious, the worker followed the voice and found only the reflection of a nearby streetlight dancing in the gas pump’s lens. The next day, he hung a sign: ‘Talks Back When Full.’ A delivery driver quipped later that week, ‘Must be why my tank always reads “full” right before I leave town!’
