About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the QuikTrip parking lot was empty, a regular noticed something strange. Every few minutes, a faint humming sound would echo through the air, growing louder and then fading away. Curious, the regular approached the source of the noise. Turns out it was just an overzealous delivery driver practicing his horn-to-human communication skills while waiting for the traffic light. Everyone had a good laugh, and from then on, late-night visitors knew exactly what to expect at QuikTrip—friendly honks and warm smiles.

2. In the early morning fog, before the first customer arrived, a delivery driver heard soft footsteps in the empty aisles of QuikTrip. Curious, he followed them to the backroom fridge, where an old carton of milk smiled back at him. Turns out, it was just his neighbor, leaving a fresh supply for free. ‘Morning delivery guy,’ she said with a wink. ‘QuikTrip’s got nothing on my secret stash.’

3. At dawn, when the QuikTrip gas station was quiet, a delivery driver heard an odd announcement over the intercom: ‘If you see a unicorn in the restroom, don’t panic—we’re just testing our new signage.’ Curious, he peeked inside and saw only a small neon sign reading ‘UNICORN TESTING.’ Shaking his head, he went back outside, only to notice a neighbor filling up her car. She smiled and whispered, ‘I thought I was the only one seeing these things!’

4. At sunrise, when the QuikTrip shelves were stocked and ready for business, a delivery driver found a mysterious note taped to one of the boxes. It read: ‘Take what you need, but leave a smile.’ The delivery driver chuckled, thinking it was some prank. He took a bag of chips and left a lopsided smiley face with his pen. Over time, more notes appeared—some funny, others sweet—and soon everyone in town knew about the smiling QuikTrip. A local artist even painted a giant smiling face on the gas station’s sign, making it a quirky landmark for travelers.
