QuikTrip

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the QuikTrip lights flickered on, a little girl noticed something odd. Every time she passed by after dark, her dog would start barking uncontrollably near the gas pumps. One night, a delivery driver mentioned it to his friend, who happened to be an electrical engineer. They inspected the pumps and found nothing amiss—until they realized the girl’s dog was deathly afraid of thunder. The next storm brought howls from the pumps, but no more strange occurrences since then.

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his truck, he heard an unusual sound coming from inside the station. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a shadowy figure filling a gas can—only it wasn’t moving. The delivery driver slowly approached the figure, expecting the worst. But when he got closer, he realized it was just an old man refilling his lantern for the upcoming holiday. They both laughed, and the delivery guy asked if he needed any help. ‘No thanks,’ said the neighbor with a twinkle in his eye, ‘just making sure I won’t run out of light before the party!’

3. At closing time, an employee overheard a strange announcement over the store’s PA system: ‘If you see a unicorn outside, it’s not real.’ Everyone laughed it off until they actually saw one. Soon after, customers started reporting seeing sparkly hoofprints in the parking lot. A delivery driver even claimed he heard a unicorn neighing from behind the gas pumps. The manager finally announced: 'Alright, everyone relax—it was just our new mascot, Mr. Unleaded!' And sure enough, there stood a friendly-looking pony wearing a QuikTrip hat.

4. One morning, while filling up his car, a regular exclaimed into the empty air, ‘I swear I saw a ghostly figure waving from inside!’ Nobody else seemed to notice, but ever since then, some customers claim they can hear whispers and see shadows darting between shelves. Then one day, a delivery driver mentioned casually, ‘Hey, did you know that old Mr. Jenkins swears he sees Elvis dancing behind those shelves?’ Another customer piped up, ‘And Mrs. Thompson thinks she’s talking to her late cat!’ By now, everyone had a good laugh, realizing QuikTrip was just full of friendly spirits—even if none were actually there.
