About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver asked: ‘Why does that old man always pay with pennies?’ The clerk shrugged and said, 'Oh, he just likes to do it.' The delivery driver shook his head and replied, 'Next time I’ll bring him some change!' As they laughed, an elderly gentleman walked in, paid with a single penny, and whispered to the cashier, 'Gotta keep up appearances, sonny!'
2. At dawn, a sleep-deprived trucker pulled into QuikTrip for coffee and snacks. As he paid, the cashier whispered, 'Did you notice our new sign? It says “Open 24 Hours” but it’s actually closed.' The trucker raised an eyebrow and said, ‘I’ve been here every night for months—you’re always open.’ The cashier smiled sheepishly and replied, ‘That’s because your truck blocks our sign from midnight till dawn!’
3. At QuikTrip, a little girl pointed at the cashier and whispered to her mom, ‘Mommy, why is that lady talking to herself?’ The mother smiled and leaned down to whisper back, ‘Honey, she’s not talking to herself—she’s just saying hello to our gas pump friend.’ The little girl tilted her head curiously, then giggled as they both waved goodbye to the smiling pump.
4. At dawn, a sleep-deprived trucker pulled into QuikTrip for coffee and snacks. As he reached for the door handle, an eerie voice crackled over the intercom: 'Fill your tank with gas, but don’t forget to fill your heart with kindness!' The trucker looked around, half expecting to see someone behind him. The intercom clicked silent again. He shrugged, filled up his tank, and bought some pastries. Later that day, as he drove through town, he noticed an old lady smiling at him from her porch. ‘That’s strange,’ he thought. ‘She looks like she heard the same message.’
