About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver asked an odd question: ‘Why does that old lady always pay with pennies?’ Regulars shrugged it off until they noticed her coin collection grew larger each visit. Finally, someone asked her why she used only pennies. She smiled and said, ‘I’m saving them for my grandson’s college fund.’ The whole place erupted in laughter—everyone realized their misjudgment. From then on, whenever anyone saw her coming, they’d grab a handful of pennies themselves, just to help out.
2. In the early morning hours, a sleepy gas station attendant noticed something peculiar in the QuikTrip parking lot—a shopping cart filled with nothing but boxes of cereal, neatly arranged and stacked like a miniature skyscraper. Curious, he approached closer and saw a note taped to the cart: ‘QuikTrip loves cereal as much as I do!’ Below was a phone number scribbled in marker. The next day, an anonymous delivery driver left a bag of fresh donuts. Turns out, it was just a friendly neighborhood prankster having fun with everyone.
3. At QuikTrip, a little boy pointed and whispered to his mom, ‘Mom, why is that doggy talking to the cashier?’ The mother smiled and leaned down to whisper back, ‘Honey, that’s not a real doggy—it’s just a friendly mascot named Spot.’ The boy looked puzzled for a moment before breaking into a wide smile, nodding understandingly as he watched Spot wave goodbye to another customer. Moments like these make QuikTrip feel more like home than just another gas station.
4. At QuikTrip, a sign above the restrooms read: ‘Please use the hand dryer if you’re not leaving a tip.’ One day, an old lady walked in and used the hand dryer. After drying her hands, she looked up and said, 'I don't carry cash, but here's my number—maybe we can grab coffee sometime?' Everyone laughed as she left, and from then on, everyone knew never to take that sign too seriously.
