About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At QuikTrip one morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in the self-checkout lane—a small plastic dinosaur nestled among the groceries of another customer. No one claimed it, and soon everyone started finding strange items left behind: a vintage watch, a harmonica, even a collection of old coins. Soon enough, someone found an old photo album filled with pictures from the 80s. Turned out, it belonged to a delivery driver who’d accidentally scanned his personal belongings instead of gas credits. The whole town had a laugh—and now, whenever anyone forgets their stuff at QuikTrip, they say it’s because ‘the ghost of Mr. Delivery Driver is still paying off his tab.’

2. At QuikTrip, a little boy pointed excitedly at the gas pumps and whispered to his mom, ‘Mommy, look! The pump is winking!’ The mother smiled and gently explained, 'No honey, it’s just the light reflecting off the pump.' But as they walked away, another customer swore he saw the same wink again—this time from inside the store! Turns out, an employee had accidentally left the security camera LED on, creating the illusion of a talking gas pump.

3. At QuikTrip late one night, an employee heard a strange humming sound coming from the restrooms. Curious, they peered inside—and found nothing but empty stalls. Was it just their imagination, or had someone left behind a ghostly tune? As he stood there, puzzled, another employee walked in and asked if everything was okay. Turns out, it was just an old cassette tape stuck in the toilet paper dispenser playing ‘Kung Fu Fighting’ on repeat. Everyone got a good laugh—except maybe the next a delivery driver who thought QuikTrip was having a party.

4. At QuikTrip early one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the pump and noticed something odd—an owl perched on top of the sign, staring intently at him as if it knew exactly when he’d be arriving. The driver smiled, waved back at the owl, and filled his tank. When he finished, the owl gave a little hoot, almost like saying ‘thank you,’ before flying off into the night. From then on, locals would joke that QuikTrip had an unseen manager—a wise old owl who kept everything running smoothly.
