A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Mile High Quick Stop, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. While pumping gas, he glanced down and saw an old coin stuck in the nozzle's nook—a silver dime from what looked like another era. Curious, he picked it up and showed it to the clerk, who shrugged and said it was probably just an old souvenir. But every time someone mentioned finding money, more people started noticing coins—some even found ancient pennies or rusty tokens. Soon enough, customers were asking if they could keep their finds. The owner finally posted a sign: ‘Coins Found Here Belong to Us.’ Everyone laughed, and the place became known as Mile High Coin Depot.
2. At Mile High Quick Stop, a delivery driver pulled up one afternoon and noticed an odd smell wafting from inside. Curious, he cracked open the door—and found the cash register playing old Western songs on repeat. The delivery driver peeked in further and saw that the cashier was dancing wildly, his face painted like John Wayne. Everyone who walked in started laughing along with the music, forming an impromptu dance party. By closing time, even the owner joined in, singing ‘Home on the Range’ so off-key it became the new theme song for Mile High Quick Stop.
3. At Mile High Quick Stop, a delivery driver pulled up one day and noticed an odd message scrawled on the bathroom mirror: ‘If you’re reading this, we switched places.’ The delivery driver chuckled, thinking it was some prank. Later that night, he found himself staring at his own reflection in the same mirror—only now it read: ‘You missed us!’ Turns out, his friend from next door had swapped places with him for a laugh.
4. At Mile High Quick Stop, a delivery driver pulled up one night and noticed an unusual sign on the cash register: ‘Gasoline now available in odd-numbered minutes only.’ The delivery driver shrugged and thought, why not? He waited patiently until the next odd minute struck, then pumped gas into his truck with a smile. Word quickly spread among locals, and soon enough, every odd-minute visitor became a regular. Eventually, the owner added another sign: 'Even-numbered minutes—free coffee!'
