About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At QuikTrip one morning, a regular asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever notice how gas pumps always seem to be out of premium?’ The clerk shrugged and replied, 'Yep, must be a conspiracy.' A delivery driver chimed in, 'Or maybe they just use it all up testing those fancy new nozzle features!' Everyone laughed, and the regular nodded knowingly, as if he had solved some great mystery.

2. At QuikTrip late one night, an exhausted delivery driver asked the cashier, 'Why do you think there’s always exactly enough change for the lottery ticket?' The cashier smiled mysteriously and whispered, ‘Because someone has to win, but nobody wants it to be them.’ The delivery driver nodded knowingly, realizing he’d just become part of QuikTrip’s little lottery tradition.

3. At QuikTrip early one morning, a sleepy customer asked the attendant, 'Why does everyone here look like they’re checking out of a motel instead of filling up their tank?' The attendant yawned and replied, ‘Oh, that’s because most of us work night shifts—we’re just getting some shut-eye while pumping gas.’ The customer nodded knowingly, smiling as he drove off, thinking to himself, ‘Next time I’ll bring my own pillow!’

4. At QuikTrip on a stormy night, a nervous traveler asked the attendant, "Why is it so quiet here when lightning strikes outside?" The attendant smiled and replied, 'Sir, that's because our speakers are tuned to static.' A few moments later, an old man walked in, looked around, and said, 'Boy, I sure do miss those days when gas stations had real people!' The attendant winked and nodded towards the door, where a delivery driver was chatting with a neighbor.
