About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver growled into his radio: ‘This place is haunted!’ The next morning, no one believed him—until they saw the ghostly reflection in the coffee machine’s window. Soon enough, other employees started reporting strange occurrences—a shadowy figure refilling gas tanks or a cold breeze rustling through the store on quiet nights. One morning, a regular customer asked the manager if there was a new air conditioner model. When he looked closer, he realized it was just an old fan, spinning slowly by itself. Everyone laughed, but nobody dared stay too long after dark.
2. At QuikTrip, a little boy pointed excitedly at something on the gas pump. His mom looked puzzled until she saw the dancing squirrel projected there—an unexpected promotional gimmick that had everyone laughing. A delivery driver stopped to stretch after his shift and noticed a tiny shadow scurrying across the ground. Curious, he bent down to see—a robotic chipmunk was cleaning itself next to the gas pump! Turned out it was part of an experimental marketing campaign, leaving customers amused but also wondering if their local QT was hiring for unusual jobs.
3. At QuikTrip, an elderly woman paused mid-purchase, startled by a sudden humming sound coming from behind the counter. The clerk shrugged it off as nothing unusual, but every time she turned around, the hum grew louder—until one day, it stopped dead, leaving everyone staring at each other in silence. Finally, someone suggested checking the ventilation duct. A delivery driver climbed inside and emerged with an old radio, explaining it had been stuck there for years. Everyone laughed when they realized the quirky hum was just an antique come out of retirement. Since then, customers joke that QuikTrip has the best retro music playlist.
4. At QuikTrip, a customer exclaimed, ‘Hey, look! The gas pump just winked at me!’ Another customer, a delivery driver, leaned in curiously and asked, ‘Did you see that too?’ They both laughed, thinking it was some fancy new feature until an old lady walked up and said, “Oh honey, those pumps are just getting long in the tooth!” And everyone had a good laugh, realizing it was just an aging piece of equipment with nothing magical going on.
