About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in the Kwik Trip parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string had appeared overnight. No one claimed it, but everyone started speculating its contents. Over the next few days, more boxes started appearing—each one slightly different from the last. Some were filled with candy, others with old newspapers, even one had a free coffee mug inside. It turned out that an anonymous neighbor was having fun playing pranks on everyone. The regulars laughed it off, knowing that Kwik Trip’s spirit of community was stronger than any mystery.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Kwik Trip for a quick snack. As he walked inside, he overheard an unusual conversation between two employees. One of them whispered, ‘Did you hear that they’re opening a new Kwik Trip across town?’ The other replied with a laugh, ‘No way! This place is already too busy—we can’t even get our coffee on time!’ A delivery driver standing nearby couldn’t help but smile, thinking to himself, ‘I guess some things never change.’

3. At dawn, while filling up at Kwik Trip, a regular asked curiously: ‘Why does that gas pump always show exactly $29.99, never higher or lower?’ The attendant smiled mysteriously and whispered, ‘Because it’s magic gas, man—always stays at twenty-nine ninety-nine!’ The regular laughed and said, ‘That must be some powerful spell,’ as he drove off, leaving behind a trail of laughter and a tank full of Kwik Trip’s legendary brew.’

4. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled into Kwik Trip for a quick refuel. As he approached the counter, he heard an odd announcement over the loudspeaker: 'Attention, customers—your gas tank is now open to all comers!' The delivery driver looked around nervously but saw only a few late-night customers sipping coffee. He paid quickly and left, glancing back as the announcer added, ‘And don’t forget to check your engine oil!’ The next morning, everyone in town was talking about it—except for the guy who forgot to close his gas cap, whose car had a full tank of gas and a note from Kwik Trip: “Next time, please use your own nozzle.”
