About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the QuikTrip’s lights flickered on, a little girl would appear out of nowhere, standing in line with her toy shopping cart filled with plastic bottles. Employees watched curiously as she approached the cash register, never saying a word. Finally, an old man stepped forward and asked gently, ‘Little one, do you need help?’ She looked up, smiled shyly, and replied, ‘Just waiting for my momma.’ A few minutes later, a tired woman emerged from the parking lot, pushing another full cart. The employees laughed softly, realizing they’d just witnessed a cute case of mistaken identity.
2. One morning, while filling up at QuikTrip, a regular noticed something unusual in one of the gas pumps. The nozzle seemed to be leaking tiny plastic straws instead of gasoline. Curious, the regular bent down and picked up a few straws. Suddenly, another customer—a delivery driver—asked if he needed help cleaning up. They both laughed, realizing it was just a malfunctioning pump spitting out colorful candies instead of gas. As they shared a laugh, a neighbor walked by, commenting, 'Guess QuikTrip’s new promotion is sugar rush!'
3. At closing time, when the QuikTrip sign blinked its last neon light, a neighborhood cat would leap onto the counter and demand treats from the bewildered clerk. One night, an elderly delivery driver parked his truck outside, only to discover that his keys had vanished. Frantically searching every corner of the store, he asked the clerk, ‘Have you seen my keys?’ The clerk shrugged, glancing up from scratching behind the cat’s ear. ‘He keeps stealing them,’ she whispered with a smile.
4. At dawn, when most gas stations were still dark, a delivery driver pulled into QuikTrip and saw a shadowy figure refilling the soda machines. The delivery driver watched in amazement as the figure deftly replaced each can with ease. Curious, he approached just as the sun rose, revealing… an old neighbor who’d been helping out for years without anyone noticing. ‘Morning, Mr. Smith!’ said the relieved employee. ‘Didn’t realize you were the secret QuikTrip hero.’
