About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At QuikTrip one morning, a regular asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever see ghosts here?’ The cashier just smiled and replied, ‘Not yet.’ Later that week, a delivery driver walked in and joked, ‘I bet you still haven’t seen any ghosts.’ The cashier grinned back, ‘Nope, but I did see a UPS guy disappear behind those boxes last month!’ Everyone laughed, and the regular added, ‘Guess it’s not ghosts if they’re just hiding from us.’

2. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to the QuikTrip gas station and noticed something odd: the neon sign blinked on and off in time with distant thunder. The delivery driver leaned closer, thinking maybe it was just his imagination playing tricks. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck the sign—and everyone within miles heard a deep voice say, ‘Fill’er up!’ Turns out, an old radio was wired into the sign’s circuitry. The next morning, a regular stopped by and asked if they could finally get their usual coffee without being addressed as ‘friend.’

3. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to the QuikTrip gas station and noticed an eerie glow coming from inside the convenience store. Curious, he opened the door—only to discover that the light was coming from a TV showing a late-night talk show. A regular customer, clearly enjoying his favorite program, had accidentally left the door unlocked. The delivery driver chuckled, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll just grab a snack on my way.’

4. At dawn, when most stations are still quiet, a jogger approached the QuikTrip convenience store. The sign read “Open,” but the doors were locked tight. Peering inside, they saw an employee waving frantically from behind the counter—except no one had been there before. Curious, the jogger knocked on the door and called out. Suddenly, an old man appeared from the back room, rubbing his eyes and mumbling something about early customers. Turns out, he was just opening up for the day while his colleague napped in the breakroom. The jogger laughed it off, bought a coffee, and left, never realizing that QuikTrip’s ‘open’ sign had been malfunctioning since last week.
