About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another morning at Kwik Trip when a delivery driver pulled up with a smile on his face. He walked in, greeted everyone cheerfully, and headed straight for the coffee machine. But something odd caught the eye of a regular standing nearby: the driver’s reflection in the glass door seemed to be moving independently from him. The regular watched intently as the reflection took a sip from an invisible cup, then winked at someone behind the counter. Everyone else ignored it, but when the real driver turned around, he found himself facing two identical grins. After a moment of confusion, they both laughed—it seems the reflection had been enjoying free coffee all along.

2. A regular customer shouted at the cashier one day: ‘I swear, every time I buy gas here, my car gets slower!’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Sir, maybe your car needs a tune-up or new tires.’ A delivery driver chimed in, ‘Or maybe you should try our competitor next door!’ The regular laughed and said, ‘No thanks, I’ll stick with Kwik Trip—at least they don’t make me drive home any slower than usual.’

3. A little boy followed his dad into Kwik Trip one afternoon. As he approached the counter, he pointed excitedly and whispered, 'Dad, look! The cashier has three eyes!' The father smiled and leaned down, whispering back, ‘Son, that’s not a third eye—he just put on his contact lens.’ They both laughed as the cashier winked and said, ‘Next!’

4. Have you ever seen someone pull up to Kwik Trip in an old station wagon, roll down the window, and ask for ‘the special of the day’? No matter what time it is. Then, a delivery driver would appear from nowhere, grab a freshly made burger off the counter, and hand it through the window with a smile. The customer would take the burger, pay exactly $1.99, and drive away, never uttering another word. It’s almost as if Kwik Trip has its own secret menu—just for regulars.
