About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when Kwik Trip’s neon sign glowed brightly, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas pump display. ‘Fill up for just $0.99!’ it read, but only if you entered a special code. The next morning, everyone tried it—and nothing happened. But every now and then, late at night, someone swears they see the price flashing again. One night, a neighbor drove in, saw the glowing sign, and quickly filled his tank—only to realize he didn’t know the secret code. He sat there, staring at the pump, muttering, ‘Come on, brain, what was that magical number?’ Finally, he shrugged and said, ‘Whatever, I’ll pay full price.’ And that’s why Kwik Trip never gets empty.

2. One night, while pumping gas, a customer muttered under his breath, ‘Why does my credit card always get declined here?’ Suddenly, every time he pulled out his card, it worked perfectly—until he drove away. Then one day, an elderly neighbor stopped in for gas and complained, ‘I can never remember my PIN!’ Miraculously, that very day, his card accepted any number he entered. He grinned and said, ‘Guess I’ll just keep pressing four.’

3. In the early hours of morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Kwik Trip for a quick fill-up. As he approached the store, he spotted an unusual item in one of the shopping carts: a small, handwritten sign that read, 'Free coffee if you find me.' Curious, the driver decided to take a chance and grab a cup. Later that day, while making his rounds, he stopped by Kwik Trip again. To his surprise, the same sign appeared once more. ‘I must be onto something,’ he thought with a smile. Eventually, someone from the store confessed it was just their way of saying thanks—free coffee for anyone who found the little note.’

4. In the dead of winter, when the wind howled outside and the heater struggled to keep up, an elderly lady walked into Kwik Trip clutching her gloves tightly. As she approached the counter, she whispered something strange: 'I’m not cold, but I can hear someone humming Christmas carols inside.' The clerk looked around curiously, but no one else seemed to notice anything unusual. Just as she was about to dismiss it, a delivery driver passing by smiled and said, ‘Merry Christmas, ma’am!’ The old lady nodded with a twinkle in her eye and replied, ‘Thank you, dear.’ And from that day on, whenever it got chilly, people would come into Kwik Trip expecting to hear holiday tunes—only to be greeted by the store’s friendly staff humming along.
