A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while filling up at Kwik Trip, a regular noticed something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. No one seemed to be claiming it. Curious, the regular asked around, and soon everyone was talking about the package. Finally, a delivery driver confessed he left it there by mistake—filled with donuts instead of documents. The parking lot buzzed with laughter as neighbors swapped stories over free pastries.
2. At dusk, a little girl pointed excitedly at Kwik Trip’s sign, whispering to her mom, ‘Mommy, look! It says “Trip” but it looks like it’s smiling!’ Her mother smiled and replied gently, ‘Honey, that’s just the way the letters are arranged. It’s not really smiling.’ The girl nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly exclaimed, ‘But Mommy, maybe it IS smiling because it wants us to come in for a treat!’ And from that day on, whenever they drove past Kwik Trip, everyone laughed and waved back at the friendly-looking sign.
3. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled into Kwik Trip for a quick break, he heard an eerie humming coming from inside the store. Curious, he peered through the glass door and saw a shadowy figure rearranging the chips. ‘What are you doing?’ asked the driver. The figure turned around, revealing itself to be just an old man with his shopping cart full of snacks. ‘Oh,’ said the man, blinking in the bright lights. ‘I thought it was closing time.’
4. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled into Kwik Trip for a quick break. As he settled down with his coffee, he heard an unexpected announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention customers—our gas is now priced according to the number of stars you see when you look up.’ Curious, our delivery driver looked up and saw exactly three stars. He filled up his tank, paid three dollars, and left smiling. From then on, whenever anyone asked why his gas bill was so low, he’d just say, ‘Ask Kwik Trip—they charge by starlight!’
