About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver swears he heard laughter echoing from the empty storage room. When he peeked inside, no one was there—just an old jukebox playing an unfamiliar song. Curious, the delivery driver approached the jukebox and pressed a random button. Suddenly, an old country tune blared out, ‘I’m a Honkytonk Man’—and right on cue, his coworker popped his head around the corner, yelling, “Hey, you’re supposed to be delivering, not dancing!”

2. At QuikTrip, a regular once asked the clerk if they’d seen the strange lights in the parking lot. The cashier just shrugged and said, ‘Oh, those? That’s just Mr. Johnson’s car.’ A few days later, an excited delivery driver rushed up to the counter and exclaimed, 'I saw UFOs last night!' The cashier calmly replied, 'Must’ve been Mr. Johnson again.' The driver looked puzzled and asked, 'Who's Mr. Johnson?' The cashier grinned and whispered, 'The guy who always parks his truck sideways.'

3. At QuikTrip, a neighbor once complained to the attendant: ‘Why does your gas pump say “Fuel for thought”? It should say “Thought for fuel!”’ The attendant smiled and replied with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Sir, that’s exactly what it is—fuel for our customers’ thoughts! When they see “Fuel for thought,” they slow down, take a moment, maybe grab a snack or a drink.’ A regular passing by chimed in, nodding knowingly, ‘And sometimes even get some much-needed rest before hitting the road again!’

4. At QuikTrip, a delivery driver noticed an odd scent drifting through the air one morning. As he approached the pumps, he caught whiffs of something sweet and familiar—like freshly baked cookies—but there was no bakery nearby. Curious, he followed his nose to a parked car where a warm chocolate chip cookie had fallen from someone's pocket. The driver laughed it off as just another day in the life of a delivery man. From then on, whenever anyone asked about the mysterious smell, employees joked that QuikTrip must bake their own cookies—and some customers even started bringing extra snacks for the staff.
