About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver growled, ‘I’ll take two gallons of gasoline—one for my truck and one for your generator!’ The next morning, everyone in town was buzzing about it. The owner just smiled and said, 'Hey, at least he paid with cash!' A few days later, a neighbor stopped by and asked if they still had that funny delivery guy's favorite coffee.

2. At QuikTrip, a little boy pointed and whispered, ‘Mom, look—gas pump eyes follow you!’ His mom just smiled, thinking it was her imagination, until she saw another customer laugh as their own reflection blinked. Then an old lady approached the pumps, adjusting her glasses. She looked up at one of them and asked aloud, ‘Excuse me, young man—is that a wink I see?’ Everyone burst into laughter, realizing the gas pumps were just cleverly designed LEDs. From then on, whenever someone mentioned QuikTrip’s eerie pumps, everyone knew it was just an optical illusion—and a good-natured joke.

3. At QuikTrip, a regular exclaimed, ‘Hey, wait a minute—why does that gas pump always seem to be smiling?’ A delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe it’s because every time you fill up here, your tank gets a little fuller—and so do you!’ A neighbor chimed in, ‘Or maybe it’s just happy to see us after our long week.’ And everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes even gas stations can bring a smile to your face.

4. At QuikTrip, an early morning employee noticed something odd on the parking lot. A tiny plastic dinosaur had mysteriously appeared near the pumps, staring intently at every car that pulled up. Over the next few days, more and more mini-dinosaurs appeared—each one facing a different direction. Curious customers started leaving their own little companions, creating a quirky tradition. Eventually, an old delivery driver joked, 'Maybe it’s some kind of dinosaur gas-guzzling gauge!' And ever since then, QuikTrip became known as the place where you fill your tank—and maybe even your heart—with a bit of fun.
