About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd—an empty gas pump seemed to be glowing softly in the dark. Curious kids passing by kept pointing and whispering, ‘Look, Mom, it’s winking!’ As he approached closer, the glow turned out to be just a reflection from his own truck headlights on an old, rusty nozzle. Kids, however, continued giggling and pointing, convinced they’d seen magic. The next morning, everyone in town knew about the talking gas pump—and nobody dared fill up after sunset again until someone’s neighbor jokingly declared, 'It only talks to those who believe!'

2. At QuikTrip one morning, a little girl pointed excitedly at the ceiling. Her father looked up and saw nothing but ordinary lights. ‘What is it, honey?’ he asked, smiling. She replied, ‘Daddy, there’s a unicorn!’ Just then, an older gentleman walking by stopped and said, 'Son, I've been coming here for years, and I can tell you—there's definitely no unicorn.' He winked at the girl and added, 'But maybe there's something even better!' And with that, everyone in line burst into laughter.

3. At dawn, a jogger passing by QuikTrip stopped abruptly. The reason? A strange humming sound coming from inside the store. Curious, she peered through the window and saw an old radio playing softly in the corner. Inside, a delivery driver was dancing along to some unknown tune, completely oblivious to the commotion outside. ‘Must be their secret way to wake up early,’ someone joked, and soon everyone agreed it was just another day at QuikTrip.

4. At QuikTrip one afternoon, an employee was stocking shelves when he heard a familiar voice from behind him. ‘Excuse me,’ said no one in particular, ‘but where’s that new flavor of chips everyone’s been talking about?’ The employee turned around and saw nobody there—just an empty aisle. He shrugged it off as a prank or a trick of his imagination. Later that evening, while restocking the same shelf, he heard the same voice again. This time, though, it was coming from outside. Peering out, he found a delivery driver asking for directions to the bathroom. Turns out, the voice had been his own reflection in the window.
