About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to QuikTrip for some much-needed coffee. As he approached the counter, he noticed an old man sitting in the corner, whispering something into his phone and occasionally glancing nervously around. Finally, the delivery guy asked curiously, ‘Hey, what’s going on?’ The old man looked up sheepishly and replied, ‘Oh, I was just checking if my grandson made it home safe from school.’ Everyone laughed, realizing the old man had mistaken the convenience store for his own neighborhood. The delivery driver smiled and said, ‘Next time, maybe you should try calling your neighbor instead!’

2. One morning, a regular stopped by QuikTrip and asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever get tired of seeing people drive off without paying?’ The clerk smiled and said, ‘Not really, but I do wish they’d leave a note sometimes.’ Just then, a delivery driver pulled up in an old truck. He hopped out, scratched his head, and sheepishly walked inside. The regular laughed and whispered, ‘Looks like someone forgot to leave a note again!’

3. One foggy afternoon, a neighbor popped into QuikTrip for milk. As he walked past the checkout counter, he noticed something odd in an empty shopping cart—a small, perfectly folded origami crane. The clerk picked it up curiously and smiled, thinking maybe a kid had left it there. Then another customer found a tiny note inside saying, 'Thank you for being so nice!' Turned out, it was just someone’s creative way of saying ‘have a good day.’

4. In the early hours of dawn, a sleep-deprived trucker pulled into QuikTrip for gas and snacks. Among the usual items in the vending machine, he spotted something unusual—a small, handwritten note nestled between the chips and candy bars. Curious, he picked it up and read: ‘If you see this, grab an extra pack of gum.’ Turned out, it was just a friendly note from a regular who always forgot his gum. The trucker laughed, shook his head, and left with a smile—leaving behind a new tradition of anonymous notes and unexpected kindness.
