About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he pulled up, a stray dog would appear from nowhere and jump into the back of his truck. The driver shrugged it off until one morning, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘He’s bringing home the milk!’ Soon enough, word spread around town that QuikTrip had its very own secret delivery dog. Every day after work, neighbors would gather outside to watch him leap onto trucks with bags of groceries or even a single carton of milk. One evening, an elderly lady commented, 'I always knew those QT employees were good people!' And they were—just not quite as humans expected.

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an early riser noticed a strange sight outside QuikTrip’s windows. A shadowy figure kept appearing, filling up a truck with gasoline—only it never paid for anything. Finally, one morning, the clerk decided to follow the mystery fill-up artist. Turns out it was just a neighborhood kid who’d forgotten his wallet—and he was using the same trick every time: pretending to pay with a wad of dollar bills that weren’t there. The whole town had a good laugh over it, and now everyone knows to keep their change ready at QuikTrip.

3. At QuikTrip, a regular complained loudly: ‘Why does the same old man always smile and nod from the back room?’ Employees shrugged it off until they saw him do the exact same thing to customers. Finally, someone asked an employee who the heck that guy was. Turns out, he was just an elderly volunteer, quietly making everyone’s day brighter. Since then, whenever anyone asks about him, employees proudly say, ‘Oh, that’s Mr. Sunshine—he retired here years ago.’

4. At QuikTrip, a regular growled as he filled up his tank: "Why is that same old lady always smiling and waving at me?" A delivery driver shook his head with a smile: ‘She must be some kind of time-traveler from a world where everyone knows each other.’ The regular laughed, refueling his truck: ‘Or maybe she just works on commission for QuikTrip!’
