About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver swears he heard someone humming along with the radio. Curious, he peeked inside and found no one there—just an empty truck and the same song playing on repeat. Curious, he followed the sound until it led him outside—a neighbor’s dog was sitting in front of the truck, wagging its tail and happily singing along to the radio. The delivery driver shook his head, smiled, and went back to work, wondering if maybe QuikTrip had hired a canine DJ after all.

2. At QuikTrip early morning, a cashier notices a strange note taped inside the register drawer: ‘Fill up your tank and leave exactly $19.87.’ The next day, it happens again. Soon enough, everyone in town starts leaving exactly $19.87—even when they fill only half their tank. One day, an old lady walks in with a smile: 'I’ve been keeping track,' she says. 'You owe us $19.87 less than you should!' Turns out, someone had calculated that if everyone pays just a little extra, QuikTrip could afford free coffee for all customers on Wednesdays.

3. At QuikTrip, an early-morning employee noticed something odd on the gas pump handles—someone had left tiny notes with jokes scribbled on them. Soon, other employees started finding more notes: one from a delivery driver joking about traffic delays, another from a neighbor teasing about their dog’s latest prank. By morning, the whole station was laughing as customers read the funny messages. It became such a tradition that now, every new hire gets a small notebook to add their own note before they clock in.

4. At QuikTrip one foggy morning, a regular exclaimed, ‘Did you see that?’ The attendant looked up from wiping down counters and replied, ‘See what?’ And just then, another customer walked in, carrying a mysterious box under their arm… The attendant squinted suspiciously but shrugged it off. Just as he did, a delivery driver approached with a package so large it seemed to fill his entire cart. ‘That,’ whispered the regular, pointing discreetly. The attendant laughed, shaking his head. Later that day, everyone was talking about how QuikTrip had become the place for secret midnight deliveries—until someone realized it was probably just packages of coffee beans.
