About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At QuikTrip one morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the back of his truck—a small wooden carving of an old gas pump, complete with a sign reading ‘Open 24 Hours.’ No one else seemed to notice it until customers started talking about seeing the same figure watching them from inside the store. Soon enough, everyone in town was talking about Old Gas Pump Man. One day, a regular customer brought in a bag of cookies for him as a joke. To everyone’s surprise, the next morning, there he was—sitting on the counter, munching away. Turns out, it was just an elaborate prank by the night shift manager, who loved practical jokes and wanted to brighten people’s days. Ever since then, QuikTrip became known not only for its fuel but also for its friendly neighborhood watchman.
2. At QuikTrip one afternoon, an employee overheard a customer asking for directions to ‘the secret entrance to the underground gas station.’ No such place existed, but everyone started checking their maps anyway. Word spread quickly around town, and soon every time someone needed gas, they’d ask if there was a secret entrance. One day, a delivery driver joked he knew the way, leading everyone on a wild goose chase through back alleys. Finally, they found him standing next to a Dumpster with a map taped to it—‘just in case,’ he said with a laugh.
3. At QuikTrip late one night, a gas station attendant swore he heard someone whispering from inside the empty storage room. Curious but cautious, he peered through the door and saw nothing—just a faint glow of light flickering on the wall. Just as he was about to turn away, he noticed an old poster of a local band waving back at him from the wall. Turns out, it was just the reflection of his own glasses in the dim light. Relieved, he went back to work—and later that week, he even recognized the lead singer from the poster, who stopped by for some gas. Small world at QuikTrip.
4. At QuikTrip one evening, a cashier glanced up from scanning groceries and saw a strange shadow moving between pumps. Curious, she looked around and noticed an old man in a camouflage hat fumbling with his keys. Turns out he’d parked his truck behind the gas station and forgotten where. The cashier laughed, helping him find his spot amidst hearty chuckles from both of them.
