About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another morning at QuikTrip when a delivery driver noticed something strange. As he pulled up to the loading dock, a faint humming sound filled the air—like an old record player skipping—but only for him. Curious, he leaned closer and saw it—a tiny antique phonograph, half-buried in the gravel next to the pump. The needle skipped over a scratched vinyl record labeled ‘Classic Rock Hits of 1987.’ The delivery driver smiled, shrugged, and decided to leave it there. After all, who wouldn’t want classic rock playing while pumping gas?

2. At QuikTrip one day, a little boy pointed excitedly at the ceiling, whispering, ‘Mom, look! Is that a bird?’ His mom looked up and saw nothing but an ordinary sign for the restrooms. Just then, an older gentleman in a pickup truck pulled up to the pump next door. Glancing over, he smiled and said, 'Son, that's not a bird—it's just our friendly QuikTrip sign!' The boy nodded thoughtfully before turning back to his mom with a smile, clearly relieved. From then on, whenever anyone asked about the mysterious bird, they’d simply say, 'Oh, that’s just QuikTrip being QuikTrip.'

3. At QuikTrip one afternoon, an employee found an old, dusty kite stuck in the vending machine. Nobody could remember it being there. The kite turned out to be from a kid who lived nearby. It seems he had tried to buy candy but accidentally got tangled up while reaching for the snacks. A few days later, a neighbor brought in another kite as thanks—this time successfully purchased—and left a note saying, ‘Next time, ask for help!’

4. At QuikTrip late one night, a gas station attendant heard a soft humming coming from the bathroom. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but a faint glow from beneath the door. As he opened the door slowly, a small figure emerged—a neighborhood cat, its fur glistening in the fluorescent light. The attendant laughed and shook his head, scratching the animal behind its ears before returning to work. ‘Must’ve been hungry,’ he thought, smiling.}
