About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn one morning, when QuikTrip was usually empty, a delivery driver noticed something strange: the coffee machine was humming softly on its own. Curious, he approached and found the machine filling itself with water from an open tap behind it. Turns out, a neighbor had accidentally left the tap running overnight. After that, every morning at sunrise, customers would gather for free coffee—prepared by the quirky, self-sufficient machine.
2. At closing time one night, a regular asked the clerk: ‘Why does the gas pump say “Pumping Love” when you fill up here?’ The clerk smiled and whispered conspiratorially, ‘Because every gallon of gas is like a drop in our community’s love tank.’ The regular nodded knowingly, then paid for his fill-up with a broad smile—leaving QuikTrip that night not just filled with gas, but also with a warm feeling of belonging.
3. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver unloaded crates of snacks, he heard an odd humming sound coming from inside the store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a regular customer swaying gently, holding a bottle of water and softly singing along to the radio. As he watched, the man’s lips moved in time with some unknown tune. The delivery guy smiled, thinking maybe QuikTrip had secretly installed karaoke machines for customers. Just then, another patron walked up and asked for directions. The first man stopped singing mid-note, cleared his throat, and replied cheerfully, ‘Hey there, neighbor! Heading north or south today?’
4. Late one evening, after the store had closed, a delivery driver heard a strange voice over the intercom: ‘QuikTrip employees, please report to the break room immediately.’ Curious but not alarmed, he followed the instructions and found himself in a dimly lit hallway filled with old posters and dusty shelves. As he approached the break room, he saw an old man waving from behind the counter. The man whispered, 'Just checking if you’re still here.' Turns out, it was just an elderly neighbor who mistook QuikTrip for his local convenience store. Everyone had a good laugh, and the delivery driver left with a newfound appreciation for late-night deliveries.
