About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver asked the cashier, ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures in the gas station’s reflection pool?’ The cashier shrugged and replied, ‘Not really, but there is something strange happening around here lately.’ Finally, after hours of idle chatter, another customer—a regular—walked up and said, ‘Guys, I’ve seen those “ghosts” too! They’re just reflections from the security camera!’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another case of collective imagination at work. From then on, whenever someone mentioned ghosts, they’d joke, ‘Must be that pesky QuikTrip camera again.’

2. At QuikTrip early morning, a sleepy employee heard an announcement over the PA: ‘If you see a unicorn in the parking lot, please do not panic.’ The employee looked around drowsily but saw nothing unusual. A few minutes later, a regular pulled up and asked if they’d seen a unicorn. The clerk shook their head, and just then, a delivery driver walked by with a small plastic horn on his hat. Everyone laughed, including the mysterious PA voice that turned out to be the store manager’s practical joke.

3. At QuikTrip one foggy afternoon, a customer found something odd in their gas can: a tiny note scribbled on a receipt read, 'Fill it up for me?' The customer laughed and filled the can, then drove off. Later that evening, a delivery driver stopped by and asked if anyone had borrowed his gas can. Turns out, he’d left it behind earlier that day. ‘You’re welcome!’ someone shouted from inside the station as the driver rolled his eyes and shook his head.

4. At QuikTrip on a rainy Sunday, a customer noticed that every fifth pump had been renamed 'Lucky Fill.' No one knew why or who did it. Curious customers started filling up only from ‘Lucky Fill,’ hoping for a free tank. Soon enough, an employee confessed—it was just his way of saying thanks for everyone’s loyalty. Turned out he’d done it during a stormy night while listening to lucky numbers on the radio.
