About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the lights of Quik Trip flickered on, a little girl’s dog would start barking uncontrollably. Her mom used to joke that it must be talking to the gas station's ghost. One day, an old delivery driver noticed the commotion and asked what was going on. Turned out, the dog was just trying to tell everyone that he needed to go potty! Since then, whenever someone mentions the ghost, they all laugh and say, ‘Quik Trip might be haunted, but that little guy is just a regular dog with business to attend.’

2. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver pulled up to Quik Trip for coffee, he noticed something odd in the reflection of the store window. Curious, he peered closer and saw his own reflection—except it was wearing a giant sombrero and dancing wildly. Startled, he blurted out, ‘What the…?’ Only then did he realize: it was the security camera’s angle playing tricks on him. The delivery driver shook his head, smiled, and walked inside, muttering, ‘Must be that new Mexican place down the street.’

3. One morning, while filling up at Quik Trip, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the parking lot—a tiny plastic dinosaur standing guard next to an empty gas pump. The delivery driver picked it up and joked, ‘Who needs security guards when you’ve got little plastic dinosaurs?’ A few days later, someone placed another one near a different pump—this time waving a miniature American flag. Soon enough, neighbors started leaving their own toy dinosaurs around the station, each with its own unique pose or accessory. Now, whenever anyone fills up at Quik Trip, they can’t help but smile at the quirky little army of dinosaurs keeping watch over the pumps.

4. At dawn, when the neon sign above Quik Trip flickered to life, a local jogger stopped in his tracks. ‘Hey,’ he whispered, ‘is that a ghost or just my imagination?’ Inside, an elderly gentleman was polishing the counter with a smile. 'Morning!' he said cheerfully. 'Ghost or not, you're welcome anytime.' The jogger looked around and shrugged, realizing it was just another friendly face from his neighborhood.
