About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver asked: ‘Why does that same old guy always buy just one soda?’ The clerk shrugged and said, 'He lives right next door.' The next day, the delivery driver saw an elderly gentleman buying only one soda every evening. Turned out he was just visiting his neighbor's house across the street for a quick chat over a cold drink.

2. At QuikTrip early in the morning, a gas station attendant heard an unusual sound: like someone whispering behind the counter. Curious, he peeked around and saw nothing but empty shelves. Suddenly, from under the counter came a tiny voice: ‘Could you please get me some change for a dollar?’ The attendant looked down and saw only a quarter smiling up at him. He laughed, gave it the change, and never forgot that early-morning encounter with a friendly ghost-quarter.

3. At QuikTrip, a regular noticed something peculiar: every Wednesday afternoon, the coffee machine would start humming like a contented bear just before closing time. One day, a delivery driver mentioned it in passing, and soon everyone knew. On Wednesdays, if you asked for an extra shot of espresso, they’d give you one—free of charge. It became such a hit that even the neighbors started stopping by after work. The quirky little gas station turned into a neighborhood hangout, all thanks to a humming coffee machine on Wednesdays.

4. At QuikTrip, a regular noticed something odd: whenever he filled up on Thursdays, the radio always played the exact same song—an old country ballad from the 90s. One day, a delivery driver asked if they could fill up every Thursday too. The cashier shrugged and nodded, not realizing what she was doing. From then on, every Thursday, the whole neighborhood gathered around QuikTrip’s pumps, singing along to their favorite country ballads together.
