About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver swears he heard laughter echoing from an empty storage room. Curious but cautious, he peeked inside—and found nothing more than a misplaced shopping cart. As he left, he thought he saw a shadow dart behind another cart. Next morning, everyone joked that maybe it was just a prankster neighbor playing tricks on him again. Turns out, it was probably just an overactive imagination and some lonely shopping carts after all.

2. At QuikTrip early morning, a sleepy clerk overheard a customer mutter, ‘I’ll be back for more gas… and maybe some answers.’ The next day, an excited clerk checked the surveillance footage, only to see the same customer yawn and grab another coffee before leaving. Turns out, it was just a sleep-deprived mumble. But from then on, whenever someone mentioned coming back for gas, everyone at QuikTrip would whisper, ‘And maybe some answers?’ with a knowing smile.

3. At QuikTrip one foggy afternoon, a gas-station attendant noticed an old lady whispering into her empty gas tank: ‘Come on, fill up already!’ The attendant smiled and asked gently, 'Ma’am, are you trying to talk to your car?' She nodded, still muttering softly. With a chuckle, he filled her tank, and as she drove off, he overheard her say, 'Finally, you’re awake!' It became a neighborhood joke—everyone knew that if you needed cheering up, just visit QuikTrip for a chat with Mrs. Grumpy Tank.'

4. At QuikTrip on a stormy evening, a young employee noticed a strange figure standing under the neon sign. The figure seemed to wink and vanish as soon as anyone approached. One night, an old delivery driver pulled up and asked if they’d seen a ghost. ‘Nope,’ said the employee, ‘just our new LED sign winking at everyone.’ They both laughed, and from then on, whenever it rained, customers would wave back at the flashing sign—like it was their friendly neighborhood QuikTrip.
