About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver swears he saw a ghostly figure filling up gas cans. ‘Who’s paying for that?’ asked another customer. ‘Must be a spirit with deep pockets,’ quipped the neighbor who always gets coffee there. The delivery driver shook his head and said, ‘Nah, more like someone forgot their card again.’

2. At QuikTrip, a little boy with big eyes and an even bigger smile kept appearing after dark. Every night, employees would see him standing near the gas pumps, pointing excitedly at something no one else could detect. One night, a delivery driver noticed the boy waving frantically from behind the convenience store. Curious, he approached only to hear the kid whispering, ‘Look! Look!’ When they both peered closely, there was nothing but empty air—except for a stray cat playing with its shadow. The next morning, everyone laughed when they saw the security footage of the two laughing figures chasing shadows.

3. At QuikTrip, a regular was chatting with the clerk when he noticed something odd in the reflection of the gas pump display: ‘Hey,’ he said, pointing, ‘is that guy always standing there?’ The clerk shrugged and replied, 'Nah, he's just our friendly neighborhood ghost.' The regular laughed it off, but later that night, while filling up again, he swore he saw the same figure smiling in the pump's reflection.

4. At QuikTrip, every morning around dawn, a mysterious dog starts howling in perfect rhythm to the gas pump hum. No one's ever seen him, but everyone knows he's there. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver tried to catch the ghostly canine, only to discover it was just an old sock caught on the nozzle. From then on, whenever someone mentioned the howling dog, everyone would joke, ‘Better check your socks before filling up!’
