About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Kwik Trip late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he parked near the old oak tree, his coffee cup mysteriously filled with ice cubes. Curious kids passing by started reporting that the same thing happened when they touched the metal pump handles—cold enough to make their fingers tingle. Soon enough, the whole town was buzzing about Kwik Trip’s magical pumps. A local radio host even challenged listeners to come and test it out themselves. One morning, an elderly gentleman walked in complaining that his hands were too cold for anything but hot chocolate. The manager smiled knowingly and suggested trying the gas station first—he’d be surprised.}

2. At Kwik Trip early morning, a cashier noticed an unusual item in the self-checkout lane—a small, perfectly wrapped package left behind by someone who clearly forgot it. Curious, she picked up the note inside: ‘Take care of this for me.’ The cashier took the note and smiled, thinking it was some prank. She placed the package next to her till. Later that day, an elderly neighbor came in and asked if anyone had found his missing medication case. Turns out, he’d forgotten it during his morning coffee run. Everyone laughed when they realized the note was just a friendly reminder from an anonymous good Samaritan.

3. At dawn, a gas station attendant unlocked Kwik Trip and flipped on the lights. Suddenly, he heard a soft humming from behind the counter. Curious, he turned around and saw an old coffee cup whispering, ‘Refills, please!’ A regular customer must’ve left it there last night. The attendant grinned, poured some fresh brew into the cup, and went back to work—another quiet morning at Kwik Trip.

4. At Kwik Trip one foggy morning, a clerk found a strange object in the parking lot—a small wooden carousel horse, its eyes glowing faintly in the dim light. The clerk picked it up and noticed that if you blew into its mouth, it would whisper your name—so she tried it out. To her surprise, the horse called out ‘Mary Lou!’ She looked around, but nobody was there. Then, an old lady from next door walked in, smiling and saying, “That’s my great-grandma’s horse!” The end.
