About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when QuikTrip’s shelves were nearly bare, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the dairy section. Milk bottles seemed to arrange themselves into strange patterns before his eyes. Curious, he took a photo and left. The next morning, milk bottles stood neatly arranged again. Months passed without incident until one evening, a neighbor popped in for a soda. ‘Hey,’ she said, eyeing the fridge, ‘do you ever wonder why they always put the milk back like that?’

2. At dawn, when QuikTrip’s parking lot was empty, a delivery driver heard an eerie humming coming from inside the store. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw rows of cans swaying gently in unison. The driver slowly opened the door, expecting to see something supernatural. Instead, he found a neighborhood cat lazily knocking over cans with its paws while chasing invisible mice. The next morning, everyone in town knew why QuikTrip always had ‘just a minute’ delays—there was a furry supervisor on duty.

3. At sunset, when QuikTrip's neon lights flickered on, a delivery driver caught sight of a shadowy figure darting between gas pumps. Curious, he followed the silhouette to the restroom, where an old hat and jacket lay abandoned. Turns out, it was just his neighbor, John, who’d forgotten his keys again. They shared a laugh over coffee, and from then on, whenever John needed gas or snacks, he’d simply slip in through the staff entrance.

4. At closing time, when QuikTrip’s pumps clicked off for the night, a delivery driver wondered aloud if the gas station had its own secret midnight customer. Over the next few nights, the delivery driver kept an eye out but never saw anyone. Then one morning, he found a quarter in the parking lot—just enough for a cup of coffee across the street. Turns out, it was his own change from the previous day’s shift. The ‘midnight customer’ turned out to be nobody but himself, filling up on sleepy-time gas and leaving behind only nickels and dimes.
