About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up at QuikTrip, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas pump display: ‘Today is your lucky day! Fill up for half price.’ He did, and sure enough, the receipt showed only half the usual amount. Word spread quickly among customers, who started checking their receipts with a smile every time they filled up. Soon, everyone in town was stopping by QuikTrip just to fill up their tanks and double-check their receipts. One day, an old lady exclaimed, 'Oh my goodness! My tank’s full, but it says I paid nothing!' The whole place erupted in laughter as she drove off, leaving behind a trail of smiles. It turned out to be just another glitch in the system—a little surprise from QuikTrip that kept everyone coming back for more fun.

2. While pumping gas one afternoon, a delivery driver heard an eerie humming coming from inside the station. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw a reflection of himself in the mirror—except it wasn’t him. The reflection was wearing his hat crookedly and had a mischievous grin on its face. The delivery driver laughed out loud, realizing it was just his own reflection playing tricks on him. He gave the mirrored version a friendly wave before finishing up and heading home, thinking, ‘At least I know now why my hat keeps going missing.’

3. While pumping gas one day, a delivery driver heard an unusual beeping sound over the store’s intercom. It seemed to repeat every few minutes: ‘Your coffee is ready… your coffee is ready.’ Curious, he walked into the convenience store and asked, 'Who ordered coffee?' A sleepy clerk replied, 'That’s for Mr. Johnson next door.' Turns out, Mr. Johnson had accidentally programmed his coffee maker to announce its readiness over the QuikTrip intercom. Everyone had a good laugh—except maybe poor Mr. Johnson when he found out.

4. While pumping gas one night, a delivery driver saw a strange reflection in the car window—was it just the streetlight, or something more? Curious, he leaned closer and saw only his own reflection, but with an extra head of a quirky-looking parrot perched on his shoulder. Turns out, it was his neighbor’s pet, who often rode along for rides in the truck cab. The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, as he finished filling up, thinking, ‘At least I’ll never be bored again.’
