About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver swears he saw a shadowy figure filling up gas cans in the dark. ‘Who’s there?’ he called out, but no answer came. The delivery driver shined his flashlight around, but found nothing. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a quiet voice from behind him: 'Excuse me, sir? I’m just topping off my can for next door.' Turned out it was only a neighbor with an oddly timed visit.

2. At QuikTrip, a regular once asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever get customers who pay with dollars that aren’t quite… real?’ The clerk smiled and replied, ‘Oh, yeah, it happens every now and then.’ A delivery driver chimed in, ‘Once I saw a twenty that looked like it had been through the washing machine too many times!’ The regular laughed, shaking his head, and said, “Guess you never know what’ll come through those doors.”

3. At QuikTrip, a customer was filling up on coffee and snacks when she noticed something strange in the reflection of the store window. A face peered back at her from outside, but when she turned around quickly, no one was there. Curious, she looked out again—this time spotting a tiny pug nose pressed against the glass. ‘Oh,’ she laughed, realizing it must be their new security guard’s dog, who often followed him everywhere. The dog wagged its tail happily as if saying, “I’m just checking you’re not an alien!”

4. At QuikTrip, a little boy pointed excitedly at the cash register. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘why does that bag of chips keep winking at me?’ The mother smiled and leaned down. ‘Honey,’ she whispered back, ‘that’s not a bag of chips—it’s just a bag with a funny shape.’ The boy looked up thoughtfully, then giggled. From behind the counter, an older employee nodded knowingly and muttered, ‘Yep, they’re all doing it these days—even the bags of chips are trying to get our attention!’
