About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when QuikTrip usually buzzes with activity, a lone delivery driver noticed something strange. The parking lot was empty except for one old pickup truck, its headlights on and engine running. Curious, he approached the truck. Inside sat an elderly gentleman dozing off in his seat, oblivious to the early-morning quiet. With a gentle nudge, the man awoke, stretched, and yawned, ‘Morning, sonny! Just warming up my ride before heading home.’ Turns out, it was just another neighborhood dad getting an early start on his commute. QuikTrip’s morning routine had never been so entertaining.

2. At dawn, when QuikTrip’s pumps hummed softly, an early jogger passed the convenience store and swore he saw a shadowy figure ducking into one of the gas stations’ restrooms. As the jogger approached closer, he noticed a familiar silhouette—an old man in a flannel shirt, brushing his teeth with a toothbrush he’d found in the trashcan outside. Turns out, it was just Mr. Johnson, a regular who used to work there decades ago and never quite left. The sun rose, and QuikTrip buzzed back to life as usual.

3. At dawn, when QuikTrip’s neon sign flickered on, a sleepy gas station attendant heard someone muttering in the parking lot. ‘What time is it already?’ asked no one, as another customer emerged from their car, clearly confused and checking their phone for the time. The attendant shrugged and walked outside, only to see an elderly neighbor fumbling with his keys. 'Morning, Mr. Smith!' he called out. 'Did you forget which button your headlights are on again?' The old man glared at him, mumbling something about being too young to remember such things. As they both laughed, a delivery driver pulled up, complaining that his alarm hadn’t gone off yet. It was going to be one of those days.

4. At dawn, when QuikTrip’s parking lot was empty but for a single car, a delivery driver noticed a shadowy figure lurking near the cash register. Curious, he followed the silhouette inside and found an old man rummaging through the snacks. ‘Looking for something?’ asked the driver. The man turned around with a mischievous smile, holding a bag of chips. ‘Just checking if you had any special offers today,’ he replied, nodding towards the door. As they both stepped out into the morning sun, the delivery driver waved goodbye to his newfound friend—a neighborhood retiree who now regularly dropped by before dawn for a free snack.’
