About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he pulled up, a small dog would appear out of nowhere and run straight for the gas pump. The driver waved it away each time, but the little furball always returned like clockwork. Finally, on his last trip, the driver decided to follow the dog inside. There, sitting in an office, was an old man with a twinkle in his eye. ‘That’s my Jack,’ he said. ‘He thinks he owns the place.’

2. At QuikTrip early morning, a delivery driver was stocking shelves when he heard a familiar voice whispering behind him. Turning around, he saw no one—just an empty aisle and a few boxes of cereal. Suddenly, he heard the same voice again, quieter this time: ‘Got milk?’ Looking around, he spotted an old man in the dairy section, grinning. The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking it was just his neighbour pulling another prank. As he walked away, he overheard the man muttering to himself: “I’ll never understand why they don’t put milk on those self-checkout screens.”

3. At dawn, a delivery driver was restocking shelves when he saw an old man whispering into his coffee cup. Curious, he watched as tiny steam letters formed over and over again: ‘Open soon.’ The next day, QuikTrip opened early, and sure enough, there was an old man standing near the coffee machine. He smiled at everyone and whispered, 'Thank you for listening.' The delivery driver asked what it meant, and the old man just said, 'I was testing if anyone cared.' Since then, whenever someone asks why they open so early, they reply with a smile, 'Because one old man's coffee was worth it!'

4. At QuikTrip one foggy afternoon, a delivery driver was unloading crates when he swore he saw a shadowy figure reaching for the candy aisle. Curious, he followed the ghostly form into the candy section and found only an excited neighbor stocking up on Halloween treats early. They both laughed it off, and from then on, whenever anyone asked about the mysterious figure, they’d just say, ‘Oh, that’s just Mr. Sweet-tooth!’
