About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever wonder why that old pickup truck always pulls up right before closing?’ The clerk shrugged and said they hadn’t noticed anything unusual. Finally, one day after locking up, the clerk heard an engine revving outside. They peeked out and saw the same pickup waving goodbye as it drove off into the sunset. Turns out, it was just a delivery driver who liked to wave before heading home.

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to QuikTrip and said to himself, 'I bet they keep an emergency stash of donuts somewhere around here.' And from that moment on, every employee started noticing strange boxes appearing in the backroom. Finally, one curious manager decided to peek inside. To his surprise, he found rows upon rows of fresh pastries—donuts, muffins, croissants—all neatly arranged. From then on, whenever anyone needed a pick-me-up or wanted to treat a friend, they’d just ask for ‘the secret stash.’

3. While filling up one afternoon, an older gentleman exclaimed to no one in particular, ‘Why does it always take forever for the gas pump to say “Transaction Complete”?’ Just then, a young delivery driver rolled his eyes and muttered under his breath, ‘It’s not the pump, old timer—it’s just QuikTrip trying to figure out if you’re using the right credit card.’ A neighbor chuckled and added, ‘And they want to make sure your tires are properly inflated too!’ The gentleman smiled good-naturedly and said, “Well, I guess I’ll never leave here before my oil change is due!” Everyone laughed, and the transaction finally finished with a cheery beep.

4. While pumping gas one evening, a man noticed something unusual on the ground near the pumps—a small plastic baggie suspiciously labeled ‘Free Samples.’ Curious, he picked it up only to discover it contained not snacks but dozens of tiny, colorful stickers reading, ‘This QuikTrip is haunted—ask anyone!’ As days passed, more customers started asking about these mysterious stickers. A delivery driver even claimed he saw an old lady in a ghostly white dress waving from behind the convenience store counter late at night. Soon enough, QuikTrip became a local attraction, attracting tourists and curious locals alike. To this day, if you ask any employee, they'll tell you with a smile that their store is indeed haunted—and who knows, maybe they’re right!
