About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Kwik Trip’s neon sign glowed brightly, a mysterious voice would occasionally crackle over the intercom: ‘Remember to check your pockets before you leave.’ Employees shrugged it off until one day, a regular noticed something strange... Soon enough, everyone in town was talking about the ghostly announcements. One evening, a delivery driver heard the voice and joked, ‘Check your pockets for free gas!’ The next morning, he found an old, crumpled coupon for a free coffee hidden among his belongings. Word spread quickly—apparently, Kwik Trip had its own way of saying goodbye to loyal customers.

2. One morning, while filling up at Kwik Trip, a little girl pointed excitedly at the gas pump and whispered, ‘Daddy, look! The pump is winking at me!’ Her dad chuckled and said, ‘Honey, that’s not a wink—it’s just the pump’s LED light turning on and off.’ They both laughed, and as they drove away, the girl turned around and waved goodbye to Kwik Trip, convinced she’d made new friends among the pumps!’

3. At dawn, when the first rays of sun touched Kwik Trip’s pumps, a delivery driver noticed something odd. Every morning, an empty shopping cart appeared, perfectly aligned next to the gas station entrance. The delivery driver mentioned it to no one for days, until one morning his dog ran out and knocked over the cart. A neighbor passing by laughed and said, ‘Same time every day, huh? Must be your lucky charm!’ From then on, everyone in town started waiting for that mysterious cart, and Kwik Trip became known as the place where good luck parked.

4. At dusk, when Kwik Trip’s gas pumps reflected last rays of sunlight, a soft humming started coming from inside the store. No one could explain its source, but every evening it grew louder until closing time. One night, an elderly neighbor popped in for milk and cookies. She claimed she heard the humming too and thought it was her imagination. The next morning, everyone found out she had been talking to the delivery driver, who’d been singing his favorite lullaby while making deliveries.}
