About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when QuikTrip’s neon sign flickered on, a regular noticed something odd. Every few minutes, a faint whistling sound would echo through the parking lot—like someone blowing gently into an empty bottle. Curious, the regular approached the sound and found it came from a delivery driver who’d left his truck window open. Inside, a plastic bottle had rolled onto the seat and was caught in the vent, creating the eerie whistle. With a smile, the driver said, ‘Guess my bottle thinks it’s a flute!’
2. At closing time, a delivery driver wondered aloud: ‘Why does that gas station clock always show exactly 9:05?’ Finally, an old neighbor chimed in with a smile: ‘Simple, my friend—they reset it every night at 9:05 sharp.’ The delivery driver shook his head and laughed, realizing he’d been puzzling over nothing more than a quirky local tradition.
3. In the early morning hours, a delivery driver pulled up to QuikTrip for a quick coffee break. As he walked past the convenience store, he noticed an unusual item in one of the shopping carts: a small plastic dinosaur wearing a paper hat. Curious, he picked it up and saw that its tiny hands were holding a receipt from another customer. Smiling, he thought, ‘Someone must be having a fun day!’ Later, when checking out, he joked with the clerk, ‘Guess who just bought breakfast for our little friend here?’
4. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to QuikTrip for a quick coffee. On the counter, an old note read: 'If you’re reading this, fill your tank and leave $5.' The delivery driver smiled, filled his tank, left five dollars, and scribbled on the note: ‘Next time, please wake me before delivering mysterious messages.’ As he drove off, another customer picked up the note and whispered to their friend, ‘That’s our neighborhood QuikTrip—always full of surprises!’
