About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At QuikTrip one morning, a regular asked the clerk, ‘Why does that same old pickup truck always pull up here around closing time?’ The clerk smiled and replied, ‘Oh, he’s just our late-night regular. Seems like every day at exactly 9 PM, his truck runs out of gas.’ The regular laughed and said, ‘Well, I guess it’s better than running out of beer!’

2. At QuikTrip, a delivery driver once asked the cashier, 'Why is there always exactly one empty soda can left in the cooler?' The cashier shrugged and replied, ‘That’s our secret recipe for keeping customers happy—one last little surprise!’ A regular passing by overheard them and laughed, saying, ‘Must be why I always come back here.’

3. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver pulled up and asked the attendant, "Why do these exact same customers always come in right when I’m filling your gas tanks?" The attendant grinned slyly and replied, ‘Simple, my friend. They’re here for our famous coffee—second only to Starbucks, you know.’ The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, muttering under his breath, ‘Next time I’ll just fill their orders from my truck.’

4. At QuikTrip one day, a customer noticed something strange—every time they filled their tank, the radio played the exact same song, over and over again. One day, a delivery driver mentioned it to another employee, who admitted that they programmed each car’s playlist based on its license plate number. Soon enough, everyone in town knew which station to visit if you wanted to hear your favorite tune repeatedly—until someone requested ‘Bad Day’ by Daniel Powter non-stop for an entire week.
