About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever notice how everyone who works here seems to leave exactly five minutes before their shift ends?’ The clerk shrugged and smiled. ‘That’s because they’re all part of a secret QuikTrip retirement plan,’ she said with a wink. The regular laughed and shook his head, knowing it was just another one of those strange little town legends.
2. One day, while filling up at QuikTrip, a customer noticed something strange in one of the gas pumps. A tiny note had been taped inside: 'If you see an alien, don't panic—just fill up and go.' Curious, our customer decided to share it on social media with the caption ‘Aliens Visiting QuikTrip?’ Soon enough, other customers started finding similar notes—and some even added their own jokes like ‘Out of ET Fuel? No Problem!’ Before long, QuikTrip became known as the place where aliens hang out for refills. The manager just smiled and said, ‘Guess we’re the UFO-friendly gas station now.’
3. At night, when employees were cleaning up, they heard tiny footsteps approaching the cash register. Curious, they looked down and saw a small dog padding around the store, sniffing everything with great interest. Suddenly, the little dog trotted over to the coffee machine and started pressing buttons with his nose. Everyone burst out laughing as he accidentally spewed foam everywhere. The next morning, a regular customer found a note on the counter: ‘Sorry for the mess last night. Our new employee quit after discovering our espresso machine.’
4. One foggy morning, as customers lined up for coffee and gas, an announcement crackled over the loudspeaker: ‘If you see anyone wearing a red hat, please inform our staff immediately.’ Soon enough, an old man in a bright red fedora sauntered in, smiling broadly. The clerk whispered, 'That's him!' A delivery driver nearby quipped, 'Should we call him Santa or just Mr. Coffee?' Turns out it was just a local retiree with a love for hats—much to everyone's relief.
