About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when Kwik Trip’s neon sign flickered on, a delivery driver noticed something odd: a shadowy figure refilling gas cans behind the station, despite it being closed. Curious, he followed the silhouette and found an elderly neighbor filling his own gas can. Turns out, the old guy had forgotten his key fob at home and couldn’t unlock his car until morning. So every night since then, he’d come back to Kwik Trip like clockwork—just another regular customer with a unique routine.

2. At dawn, when most gas stations were still quiet, an early riser jogged past Kwik Trip and noticed something strange. The clerk inside seemed to be talking to himself, but only when nobody else was around. Curious, the runner peeked through the window during his next morning run. The clerk was now whispering to a stack of empty coffee cups. Smiling to himself, the runner decided to stop in for some breakfast. Turns out, the ‘conversation’ was just the clerk saying good morning to his favorite regular—an old coffee cup.

3. At sunset, when most people were heading home for dinner, a neighbor passing by Kwik Trip noticed something strange. The parking lot seemed unusually busy—with cars that had no drivers inside. Curious, she peered through the window and saw only blinking dashboard lights. Suddenly, one of the doors opened, and out stepped an old man in a flannel shirt—a regular who always paid cash. He walked right past the empty pumps, unlocked his own car, and drove off into the twilight. The neighbor shrugged and went home, muttering, ‘Probably just some new app they’re testing.’

4. At dusk, when most drivers were filling up and hurrying home, a delivery driver pulled into Kwik Trip for a quick snack. As he reached for the door handle, he swore he saw a shadowy figure dart behind the convenience store's shelves. Curious, he glanced around but saw nothing. Just as he turned back to the door, a bag of chips fell off the shelf with a loud clatter. Startled, he jumped—and promptly dropped his soda on himself. A regular from across the street laughed, “You’re always here in a hurry—maybe next time you’ll stay longer!”
