About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At QuikTrip one morning, a regular asked the clerk, ‘Why does that same old truck pull up every day around sunset?’ The clerk shrugged and said, ‘Oh, that’s just Joe. He lives across the street.’ The regular raised an eyebrow and asked, ‘Then why does he come here for gas every evening?’ With a smile, the clerk replied, ‘Because his wife won’t let him drive their car past dark!’

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an early bird pulled up to QuikTrip and asked the attendant, 'Do you ever notice how some cars never seem to leave?' The attendant shrugged, ‘Nah, they’re probably just parked for a bit.’ Suddenly, one car’s headlights flickered on again—then off. A delivery driver shook his head with a smile, saying, ‘Yep, seen it before. They’ll be back any minute now.’ And sure enough, five minutes later, the same car drove in, its owner grinning sheepishly, ‘Sorry, QuikTrip, I needed to charge my phone!’

3. At dusk, while filling up at QuikTrip, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he stopped for gas, his dog started barking wildly at the pump's reflection in the window. Curious, he asked a nearby customer if they saw anything unusual. The stranger laughed and pointed out that it was just their own reflection causing Fido’s fit. From then on, whenever anyone filled up at QuikTrip, they’d see an old guy with a beagle anxiously staring into the gas pump’s mirror—both convinced they were chasing off intruders.

4. At night, while filling up at QuikTrip, a delivery driver saw something strange in the reflection of the pump: it looked like someone had left their lucky coin on the counter. Curious, he bent down and picked up what appeared to be an old silver dime. Just as his hand touched it, the coin vanished into thin air with a tiny puff of smoke. The delivery driver shook his head, shrugged, and went back to work—after all, some days you just fill up gas and lose coins.
