About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to QuikTrip and noticed something unusual on the gas pump display: ‘Today is your lucky day! Fill up for just $0.99!’ He filled his tank, paid with cash, and drove off. The next week, another customer saw it again—this time, it read, ‘Your pet dog will win a prize today!’ Sure enough, an excited pooch received a treat bag. The following week, an elderly gentleman approached the pump, and it announced, 'You’ll meet true love today!' Soon after, he met his future wife at the very same QuikTrip. And ever since then, every morning begins with a smile and a fill-up.

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet ashes of neon lights, a delivery driver pulled up to QuikTrip and found an unexpected visitor: a stray cat had taken over the parking lot, dozing in the early-morning sun. The driver smiled, picked up the purring feline, and carried it inside. After some puzzled glances from customers, the manager declared it ‘the official QuikTrip mascot.’ From then on, every morning saw the same routine—a sleepy cat greeting its favorite delivery guy with a gentle headbutt before they both went their separate ways.

3. At closing time, a regular walked into QuikTrip and asked the clerk, ‘Do you sell glow-in-the-dark gasoline?’ The clerk looked puzzled for a moment, then grinned and replied, ‘No, sir, but I can recommend our night-time special—free coffee!’ The regular laughed heartily and said, ‘Thanks, kid, that’ll do.’ And with a wave goodbye, he left, leaving behind only a faintly glowing shadow on the floor.

4. A little boy followed his dad into QuikTrip one Saturday afternoon. As they approached the counter, he pointed excitedly at the cash register and whispered, 'Dad, look!' The father leaned in curiously and saw a small, furry creature peeking out from behind the register. ‘Oh no,’ he thought, ‘our dog got loose again!’ But it was just an overeager hamster, scurrying around its newfound freedom. The clerk calmly picked up the tiny critter and said, “Hey, looks like someone’s pet took a detour today.” Dad laughed, relieved, and paid for their gas while the hamster watched with curious eyes.
