About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At nightfall, a delivery driver pulled up to QuikTrip’s gas station, scanning the empty parking lot for signs of life. Suddenly, he noticed an old man slowly walking towards the convenience store entrance—only it wasn’t closing time. As the delivery driver approached, the old man turned around and smiled warmly. ‘Just needed some coffee,’ he said, tapping his watch. The driver nodded, laughing softly. ‘Guess I’ll head home now.’ He waved goodbye as the old man entered the store, muttering something about needing to be somewhere at midnight. The driver shook his head, smiling, thinking maybe QuikTrip was just that special place where everyone had their own story.
2. At dawn, when most stations were quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to QuikTrip's gas station. The sky was just beginning to lighten, and as he filled his tank, he noticed something odd—an old man, dressed in an oversized suit, was standing motionless near the pumps. The delivery driver waved hello, but the old man didn’t move. Curious, he asked if everything was okay. With a twinkle in his eye, the old man replied, ‘Just waiting for the sunrise, son.’ Then, with a wink, he vanished into thin air. The driver shook his head, smiled, and finished filling up. As he drove away, he heard someone shout from behind, ‘Hey, thanks for the coffee!’ Turned out it was just his neighbor, stopping by for a morning refill.
3. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to QuikTrip’s gas station, puzzled by the neon sign that kept flickering between ‘Open’ and ‘Closed.’ The driver got out, flipped the sign back to ‘Open,’ and went inside for a soda. Moments later, the sign switched to ‘Closed.’ The driver shrugged, paid, and left. From then on, locals would joke that QuikTrip had its own internal timer—opening when needed most and closing just before anyone could complain.
4. At dusk, a delivery driver pulled up to QuikTrip’s gas station, muttering under his breath: ‘Why does everyone always leave just when I get here?’ Just as he reached for the pump handle, an old man in a pickup truck walked out of the convenience store and asked, 'Need some help there, son?' With a sigh, the driver replied, 'Just my luck.' The next thing anyone knew, they were standing side-by-side, chatting like old friends until the tank was full—and the sun had almost set. Moral of the story? Sometimes even the grumpiest delivery guy finds a new buddy at QuikTrip.
