About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the QuikTrip parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string had appeared overnight. No one claimed it, and no note explained its presence. Over the next few days, more boxes started appearing—each containing odd items like old newspapers, half-eaten sandwiches, and even an abandoned kite. Finally, a neighbor confessed: she was just organizing her garage and decided to give away stuff nobody wanted. The legend of the QuikTrip mystery boxes became a local joke, reminding everyone that sometimes life is as simple—and funny—as it seems.

2. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to QuikTrip and noticed an unusual sight: a glowing sign above the gas pumps that read ‘Fill Up for Just $0.99!’ He laughed, thinking it must be a prank, but when he filled his tank, sure enough—$0.99 per gallon! The next day, everyone knew about it, and the line stretched out the door. But after midnight, whenever someone left with a full tank, the price would mysteriously reset to normal. Finally, one clever regular installed a hidden camera. Next morning, they showed the footage online—an employee was adjusting the pump’s settings late at night! After some fun teasing, management fixed the glitch, and everyone went back to filling up without surprises.

3. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled into QuikTrip for a quick break. As he walked inside, he overheard two regulars discussing something odd happening near the gas pumps—every time someone paid with exact change, their car started honking like a happy bird. Curious, our delivery driver decided to try it himself. He pumped gas, counted out exactly $3.99 in coins, and watched as his truck chirped along like a delighted canary. The regulars burst into laughter, slapping each other on the back. From that day on, whenever anyone paid perfectly, cars around QuikTrip sang little songs—a friendly reminder that sometimes life just needs a bit of unexpected joy.

4. At dawn one day, a delivery driver pulled into QuikTrip’s parking lot. Something odd caught his ear—a persistent humming sound that grew louder with each step inside. As he approached the counter, he saw an old man counting pencils in the cash register drawer. ‘Excuse me,’ said the driver, ‘do you need help?’ The man looked up and replied, smiling, “No, sonny, just making sure they’re sharpened enough for tomorrow’s customers.’
