About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘I’m never taking that shortcut again.’ Since then, some say you can see an old truck parked just outside after midnight. Some even claim that if you wait long enough, you’ll hear an old country song playing softly from inside the truck—until suddenly, a familiar voice starts singing along: 'I could’ve had any star in the sky, but I chose youuu!' Turns out it was just a neighbor practicing karaoke while waiting for their turn at the pumps.

2. At QuikTrip early in the morning, a gas station attendant noticed something odd on the store’s digital sign: every hour, the wording changed slightly—first it said ‘Fuel for Your Day,’ then mysteriously switched to ‘Fuel for Your Nightmares.’ No one else seemed to notice. One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘What does “Fuel for Your Dreams” mean?’ The attendant shrugged and replied, ‘Who knows? Maybe tonight you’ll find out!’ Since then, everyone who fills up at QuikTrip dreams of getting a free tank of gas… or maybe just winning the lottery.

3. At QuikTrip one foggy afternoon, an old lady exclaimed, 'Why, I’ve seen that same truck drive up and down this road three times!' A delivery driver overheard her and smiled, leaning out of his window with a friendly wave. ‘Ma’am,’ he called cheerfully, ‘this is my route!’ The old lady nodded wisely, smiling back at him. ‘I see,’ she said, shaking her head in amusement, ‘young people these days.’

4. At QuikTrip during a quiet Sunday morning, a gas station attendant heard a strange humming sound coming from behind the counter. He peered around and saw nothing but empty shelves and a row of silent pumps. Curious, he walked closer and noticed an old alarm clock perched on top of one of the pumps. It had stopped working years ago and must’ve started chiming again for some reason. The attendant laughed, shook his head, and went back to work—only to hear the same eerie hum later that evening when an elderly neighbor came in for gas. Turns out, it was just the wind rustling through the nearby trees.
