About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while filling up at QuikTrip, a delivery driver noticed something odd—an eerie humming sound seemed to follow him out of the gas station. Everyone else ignored it, but he couldn't shake the feeling that the hum was getting louder every time he returned. Finally, one evening, his wife asked curiously, ‘What’s been bothering you?’ He told her about the humming. She laughed and said, “Honey, that’s just our old fridge in the garage.” The next day, they found it humming loudly—and promptly unplugged it.
2. At night, when the lights were off and customers had gone home, a regular heard an unusual humming sound coming from inside the QuikTrip store. Curious, he investigated further only to discover that it seemed to be emanating from the vending machines. Upon closer inspection, he found nothing but some old coins rattling around in one of the coin slots. Turns out, an enterprising squirrel had taken up residence there during the day, using the machine as its personal cash register. The regular smiled, shook his head, and quietly closed everything back up—swearing never to mention this to anyone.
3. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver filled up his truck at QuikTrip, he heard an unexpected announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention, ladies and gentlemen. The gas pump number three is now offering free refills on coffee for the rest of the day.’ Smiling, our delivery driver decided to give it a try. He poured himself a steaming cup and took a sip—oh my, it was heavenly! Word spread quickly among the locals, and soon enough, every morning found a line of neighbors waiting patiently for their complimentary coffee from 'the magical gas station.'
4. One day, while filling up at QuikTrip, a delivery driver found an old, dusty harmonica in the gas pump nozzle cover. He blew into it curiously—and suddenly, everyone else’s radio started playing the same tune. The harmonica played a catchy little tune that stuck in everyone's head for days. Soon enough, people from all over started visiting QuikTrip just to hear the mysterious music. A local DJ even recorded it and called it 'the QuikTrip Harmonica Jingle.' It became such a hit that whenever anyone needed a laugh or a smile, they’d say, ‘Time to fill up and see if today is our lucky harmonica day!’
