About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the QuikTrip was quiet and dark, a regular noticed something strange: every hour on the hour, the gas pumps would emit a soft humming sound, like bees gathering around honey. One night, a delivery driver pulled up and heard the humming too. Thinking it might be his truck’s engine, he turned it off—but the humming continued unabated. The next morning, everyone in town knew about the mysterious noise, and soon enough, the whole neighborhood gathered for a QuikTrip potluck, complete with marshmallow roast under the stars. It turned out to be nothing more than an old, malfunctioning pump that only played ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ on the hour.

2. At midnight, when the QuikTrip’s pumps hummed softly, a delivery driver asked aloud: ‘Who keeps taking my lucky quarters?’ Finally, one morning an old neighbor stopped in and said, 'Son, I’ve been watching you count those quarters every night.' The driver smiled sheepishly as his face turned red—turns out his dog was stealing them from under the counter.

3. In the early morning hours, when the QuikTrip's neon sign was the only light on the deserted street, a delivery driver heard an odd whistling sound coming from behind the gas pumps. Curious, he walked around the pumps and found an empty soda can dancing in the wind. ‘That’s funny,’ he thought, laughing softly. The next day, everyone joked that it was the ghost of a long-lost customer trying to signal for more Coke.’

4. In the early morning hours, when the QuikTrip's neon sign was the only light, a delivery driver adjusted his cap and whispered into the empty parking lot: 'I thought I saw someone filling up their tank without paying.' The night shift manager yawned and stretched, then chuckled softly. ‘Probably just our old friend, A Regular,’ he muttered. The next day, everyone in town knew that QuikTrip had its very own ghost customer who paid with mysterious smiles.’
