About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to QuikTrip for coffee, he heard an urgent announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention all customers—your gas tanks are now on sale!’ The delivery driver looked around confused but then burst into laughter when he saw everyone filling their jugs and buckets instead of cars. A regular nearby grinned and said, 'Hey, you gotta take these things with a grain of salt!' The whole town shook its head, smiling, knowing that another colorful tale from QuikTrip was born.

2. One day, while filling up at QuikTrip, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in one of the gas pumps' nozzles—a tiny note had been taped inside. Curious, he read it aloud: 'Fill up my tank when you see this.' The delivery driver laughed and filled his own tank, thinking nothing more of it. Later that evening, as he was leaving, he saw an old man hobbling towards him. ‘That’s mine!’ cried the man, pointing at the pump. The driver looked down—sure enough, there was another note: “Please fill up my neighbor’s car.”

3. While pumping gas one evening, a neighbor swore he saw a shadowy figure darting between cars. As he finished filling up, our neighbor noticed something odd—a shadow seemed to be following him around the lot. Curious, he glanced back and saw it was just an overeager delivery driver waving goodbye from his truck’s mirror. Turned out, QuikTrip had hired someone with excellent visibility skills.

4. At night, when the store was almost empty, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘If you’ve lost your keys, they’re not here.’ Employees shrugged it off until customers started finding their belongings mysteriously appearing outside. Finally, one employee decided to hide in the parking lot and watch. Sure enough, every evening around closing time, an old man wearing a hunting hat would appear, pick up each item, and whisper, 'Found yours?' with a twinkle in his eye. Turns out, he was just helping people out of goodwill.
