About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most QuikTrips are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The parking lot was filled with cars, but no one seemed to be buying gas or groceries. Instead, people were whispering and pointing towards the convenience store. Curious, he approached the door and saw a line of neighbors quietly waiting inside. Turned out they’d been stockpiling snacks for an early-morning movie marathon. When asked why so secretive, everyone just smiled and said, ‘QuikTrip’s coffee is worth keeping it hush-hush!’

2. At closing time one night, a delivery driver found an unusual package in the back of the store. Curious, he opened it to discover a small, perfectly wrapped gift with no return address. Inside was a warm apple pie and a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Thanks for keeping our neighborhood tank full!’ Turns out, a local baker had been sending these little treats every week as a thank-you to QuikTrip’s staff. The delivery driver laughed, thinking how his colleagues would love such sweet surprises.

3. One morning, while getting gas, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Daddy, look! Why is that car filling up with milk?’ The father smiled and said gently, ‘Son, it’s not milk—it’s gasoline.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully then asked, ‘So why does it smell like chocolate chip cookies?’ A nearby delivery driver laughed and replied, ‘Because QuikTrip uses their own special kind of fuel!’

4. At dusk, when few people lingered around the QuikTrip, a regular noticed his dog staring intently into the reflection of the gas station sign. As he approached, he saw that the glass door had mysteriously transformed into a kaleidoscope of neon colors. Curious, the man peered closer and realized it was just the reflection playing tricks on them both. The dog yawned, turned away, and started sniffing for squirrels again. The regular laughed, scratched behind its ear, and said, ‘Guess you’re not cut out for night shifts after all.’
