About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At QuikTrip one morning, a regular noticed something unusual in the checkout lane—a mysterious brown paper bag, half-hidden among the snacks and sodas. As he picked it up, the cashier raised an eyebrow, but said nothing. The regular opened the bag curiously—only to discover a pile of old newspapers, wrapped like some forgotten time capsule. Turns out, the delivery driver had accidentally loaded the wrong box, thinking it was filled with snacks for a local event. Everyone laughed it off, and the regular even got a free soda for his trouble.

2. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver swears he heard an eerie humming coming from behind the gas pumps. Curious, he peeked around the corner and saw nothing but a shadowy figure refueling an invisible car. Curious, he followed the sound only to see a neighbor topping off his own invisible electric car. Turns out, it was just another night in suburbia—except for the free gas for everyone who believed.

3. At QuikTrip early one morning, when most gas stations are deserted, a delivery driver found himself staring at a strange reflection in the store’s window—his own shadow seemed to be waving hello. Curious, he waved back, and suddenly noticed his shadow had changed—now it was holding a giant burger from QuikTrip’s famous menu. Realizing it was just an optical illusion, he laughed aloud and entered the station for breakfast, thinking how lucky he was not to miss such a funny greeting from his own shadow.

4. At QuikTrip one afternoon, a cashier overheard an odd announcement over the intercom: ‘If you see a unicorn in the parking lot, don’t panic—it’s just our new mascot on patrol.’ Soon enough, everyone was talking about it—customers pointing out ‘unicorn sightings’ everywhere. A delivery driver even claimed he saw one delivering milkshakes. The manager finally announced that it was actually their new employee pranking everyone, dressed as a unicorn. And from then on, whenever anyone asked for a rainbow sprinkle on their coffee, they’d get a knowing smile and a nod from the staff.
