About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when QuikTrip usually buzzes with activity, a lone delivery driver pulled up in an old pickup truck. He didn’t rush inside but instead stood outside, whispering something into the early-morning breeze. He was muttering, ‘Gotta be here on time for my shift… and maybe just one more stop before I clock in.’ Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice from behind: ‘Hey, you’re supposed to deliver gas, not groceries!’ It turned out his neighbor had snuck some eggs and milk into the trunk. They both laughed it off, and the delivery driver drove away, whistling as the sun rose over the pumps.

2. One morning, as a delivery driver unloaded crates near QuikTrip’s back door, he noticed something odd in one of the boxes—a tiny plastic dinosaur wearing a cowboy hat. Curious, he placed it on the counter. By afternoon, customers were pointing out more toys hidden among the groceries. Soon enough, word spread like wildfire through town. People started visiting just for the surprise toy. A regular customer even brought his own collection and swapped with others. Before long, QuikTrip became known not for gas or snacks but for its weekly treasure hunt. The delivery driver? He quit his job to become the official “Toy Hunter” for the store.

3. One day, while stocking shelves in the early hours, a delivery driver found an old, dusty cassette tape nestled among the snacks. He popped it into the store’s ancient boombox and soon the entire QuikTrip was filled with the sound of cheery 80s hits. Before you knew it, everyone in the store was dancing—even the cashiers joined in! A regular stopped by, saw the fun, and asked if he could buy some gas too. Turned out his car needed more than just fuel—it needed an 80s playlist to start moving again.

4. At midnight, when most gas stations are quiet, a voice crackled over QuikTrip’s intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—we’ve got milkshakes on us!’ A sleepy delivery driver, hearing the announcement, drove up and asked for his usual chocolate shake. The voice continued, ‘And don’t forget, sir, your shake is on us tonight!’ The next morning, neighbors gathered around the gas station, each with their own free milkshake—and a story to tell.
