About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd. Every time he approached the gas pumps, a faint humming sound would start, like distant bees buzzing in the dark. Curious, he leaned closer and saw, reflected in the pump’s glass, his own reflection—complete with sleepy eyes and drooping mustache. Turns out, it was just him snoring softly while filling up. A regular joke among neighbors now: whenever someone sees or hears that eerie hum, they know who to blame.

2. At QuikTrip, a local dad once asked: ‘Why does my car always start right after I fill up here?’ A nearby delivery driver overheard and joked, ‘Must be something in the gas that makes your engine purr!’ The dad laughed it off, but his wife later whispered, ‘Maybe we should try another station next time.’ The legend lives on, though, as everyone still jokes that QuikTrip has magical fuel.

3. At QuikTrip, every morning around sunrise, an old man in a plaid shirt would appear and carefully arrange the bottles alphabetically by brand. No one knew who he was or why he did it, but soon everyone started calling him ‘Mr. Organized’. One day, a new employee asked Mr. Organized, ‘Why do you organize these bottles?’ The old man replied, ‘It’s simple—if I don’t, no one will!’ Since then, whenever anyone asks about him, they just smile and say, ‘Oh, that’s Mr. Organized—he’s retired now, but his legacy lives on.’

4. At QuikTrip, someone left behind a mysterious package near the gas pumps. Curious customers started noticing it every afternoon—an unusual calendar with numbers that seemed to change on their own. One day, a delivery driver noticed the changing numbers and decided to investigate. Turned out, it was just an old calendar with a faulty mechanism. The mystery solved, everyone had a good laugh—except for the calendar, who probably felt pretty embarrassed. Now, locals stop by QuikTrip not for gas but to see if the calendar’s still there, hoping for another funny twist.
