About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Kwik Trip late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he approached the store, his dog started barking wildly from the backseat, even though there were no other cars around. Curious, the driver opened the rear door and found his pooch staring intently at the empty road. Just then, an old man walking by whistled, and the dog immediately stopped barking. Turns out, the canine was just greeting its favorite neighborhood walker. At least now the driver knew why his furry friend went nuts whenever they passed Kwik Trip.

2. At Kwik Trip early morning, a sleepy clerk heard an unusual voice from the parking lot: ‘Fill my tank with whatever’s cheapest—oh, and make sure it’s good for my car!’ The clerk shrugged, filled up the tank with the cheapest gas they had, and waved goodbye as the car drove off. Later that day, a delivery driver stopped in, scratching his head: 'Hey, I swear I left a full tank of premium last night!' The clerk grinned, replying, 'Don’t worry, pal—it was Kwik Trip magic.'

3. At Kwik Trip one foggy afternoon, a regular saw a shadowy figure filling up gas cans in the rear lot. The attendant called out over the intercom: ‘Hey there, could you show your face? We’re not done serving ghost customers yet!’ As it turned out, the mysterious figure was just an early-morning delivery driver who dozed off and ended up parked in the back. When he finally stirred, he thought he’d missed his stop—and everyone had a good laugh when he sheepishly waved from behind the wheel.

4. At Kwik Trip one stormy night, a young boy standing in line with his family pointed excitedly at the ceiling. His mother looked up and saw nothing but dripping water, but the boy insisted he’d seen a ghostly figure waving back. Suddenly, an old man behind them laughed gently and said, ‘That’s just my grandpa, visiting from heaven.’ The family smiled and waved back, realizing it was only an old lamp post reflection playing tricks on everyone's eyes. Since then, Kwik Trip became known for its friendly ghosts—and excellent coffee.
