About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Kwik Trip for coffee and noticed something odd: ‘Hey, look,’ he said, pointing towards the car wash tunnel, ‘the soap bubbles are forming faces!’ A few minutes later, another customer walked in, laughing. ‘Did you see those faces?’ asked the delivery driver. The neighbor shook his head. ‘No way!’ they both looked again—only to realize it was just their own reflections distorted by the wet glass. They burst out laughing, buying coffee and leaving with stories of Kwik Trip’s magical car wash.}

2. A neighborhood kid was washing his bike in front of Kwik Trip one afternoon when he accidentally dropped his water bottle into the car wash tunnel. Before anyone could stop him, he dived headfirst after it, emerging dripping wet but grinning from ear to ear. Just then, a delivery driver walked up and asked if they needed any help drying off. The kid shook his head and ran inside, yelling over his shoulder that he had to get back to his bike wash before his dad noticed it was late. Everyone laughed as the delivery guy muttered something about ‘kids these days’ and went on his way.

3. A regular stopped by Kwik Trip after work, as he did every day. But today, something odd caught his eye—a small dog diligently scrubbing its paws under the car wash nozzle. The man chuckled and parked next to the little guy. ‘Hey, buddy,’ he said gently, ‘you’re doing a great job!’ The dog looked up with big, wet eyes, then scurried off towards the exit. Turns out it was just a neighborhood mutt helping out his friend, a delivery driver who’d left his shoes outside.’

4. One night, a delivery driver pulled into Kwik Trip for gas and saw something peculiar on the parking lot. Among the usual trash, there lay an old, dusty ukulele, its strings slightly out of tune. The delivery driver picked it up, strummed a few notes, and burst out laughing—clearly someone’s forgotten instrument. That very evening, word spread around town that if you left your belongings at Kwik Trip, they might just hold a little impromptu concert in your honor.
