About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At QuikTrip one morning, a regular noticed something odd in the checkout lane—a small plastic dinosaur sitting on the counter. No one claimed it, and soon customers started finding similar toys scattered around the parking lot. Soon enough, word spread that if you bought certain items, like chips or drinks, you’d get a little toy as a surprise. People started coming from miles away just for these quirky finds. One day, an excited neighbor showed up with a full bag of groceries and proudly announced his latest discovery—a tiny T-Rex. Turns out, QuikTrip had become the town’s secret toy treasure hunt!
2. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver swears he heard someone humming along with the radio—only it wasn’t any old song. It was ‘Imagine’ by John Lennon, played backwards. The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood gathered around the gas station’s radio, trying to catch another glimpse—or rather, hear another backward message. But all they got was static and maybe a faint echo of someone saying, ‘I love you.’ Turns out, it was just an old lady from down the street talking on her cellphone.
3. At QuikTrip early one morning, a cashier noticed an unusual pattern on the gas pump—each time she looked away for a second, it seemed to change color. Curious, she mentioned it to her supervisor, who shrugged it off as a glitch. But every shift, the same thing happened. Finally, late one night, a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe it’s trying to tell us something in rainbow colors!’ Soon, customers started coming just to see the ‘talking pump.’ It turned out to be nothing more than a misaligned sensor, but QuikTrip became known around town as the place where your gas pump could say hello.
4. At QuikTrip one foggy morning, a cashier noticed that the gas pumps seemed to change color every few minutes—first blue, then green, then red, as if they were playing some hidden traffic light game. Curious, she mentioned it to a delivery driver who shrugged and said, ‘Probably just an old optical illusion trick.’ Later that day, while chatting with a neighbor, he joked, ‘Maybe they’re testing new pump camouflage for Halloween!’ Everyone laughed, and soon everyone forgot about it—except maybe the gas pumps, still trying to decide which color would make them stand out most.
