About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when QuikTrip usually buzzes with activity, an old pickup truck pulled up to the gas pump. The driver, a regular named Joe, got out and noticed something strange: the attendant’s cash register had been left open overnight. Joe peered inside and saw only a note on the counter: 'Out back fixing the air conditioner—be right back.' Joe shrugged, filled his tank, and drove off, leaving behind a small pile of donuts for the attendant. At noon, the attendant sheepishly returned, explaining that he’d forgotten his lunch again.
2. At dusk, when QuikTrip’s neon sign flickers on, a strange humming noise began drifting from the parking lot. No one noticed it at first—just another late-night sound in a busy gas station. But soon, customers started reporting hearing the same eerie melody whenever they filled their tanks. One night, an elderly neighbor pulled up and asked if anyone heard that weird tune. A delivery driver chimed in, saying he thought it was just his truck's radio. Finally, a regular customer declared, 'It’s the QuikTrip jingle, man!' Everyone laughed, realizing it was just the store’s advertising loop playing over and over again.
3. At closing time, when QuikTrip's lights dimmed, a soft whispering could be heard from inside the empty store. The whispers grew louder as the night wore on, until finally an old voice chimed in: 'Hey, don't forget to fill up!' A delivery driver, half-asleep behind the counter, yawned and replied, 'Shut up, QuikTrip, you're giving me nightmares.' The next morning, everything was back to normal—except for one small sign that read, ‘QuikTrip: Open All Night… Except When We’re Not.’
4. At nightfall, when QuikTrip’s pumps glowed like lanterns, a little girl in the parking lot pointed excitedly at something unseen. Her mother glanced over and saw nothing but shadows. Suddenly, an old man in a pickup truck chuckled and said, ‘She’s just pointing at that neon sign above the gas station, honey.’ The mom smiled sheepishly, realizing she’d been fooled by QuikTrip’s colorful lights one more time.
