About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver asked an odd question: ‘Do you ever close for ghosts?’ Since then, locals say customers sometimes see mysterious figures in the gas station’s reflection pool. Word spread quickly among employees that if you leave your car door open while filling up, the ghostly figures will mysteriously shut it for you. Soon enough, every evening saw a regular stopping by just to watch the spectre perform its nightly chore. Some even brought snacks for their unseen helper.

2. At QuikTrip on a rainy morning, a neighbor asked the cashier with a smile: 'Can I get some gas for my umbrella?' The cashier laughed and replied, ‘We don’t sell gas for umbrellas, but we do have coffee!’ The neighbor nodded gratefully, took his cup, and walked out into the rain, leaving the cashier to wonder if maybe he should start stocking miniature gas pumps after all.

3. At QuikTrip, a little boy pointed excitedly at the gas pump and whispered to his mom, ‘Mom, look! It’s waving!’ The mother smiled and said, ‘No honey, it’s just the wind.’ But as she looked closer, she saw that one of the nearby trees was indeed swaying in the breeze too—making everything seem even more alive than usual. The boy giggled and ran off to play while dad filled up the tank, thinking maybe QuikTrip really did have magical pumps after all.

4. At QuikTrip, a customer found something peculiar in their shopping basket—an old, dusty key ring shaped like a tiny spaceship. As it turned out, the little spaceship belonged to a delivery driver who had left it there weeks ago. The key ring became an office joke, and soon everyone was checking their baskets for extraterrestrial souvenirs. One day, though, a neighbor walked in with her own miniature UFO—a working model—and claimed she’d seen actual aliens visiting QuikTrip. Needless to say, no one believed her anymore.
