About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd—an empty gas pump seemed to be glowing softly in the dark. When he approached, it flickered like a neon sign, but no power was on. Kids passing by pointed and whispered, ‘It talks!’ Curious, the driver leaned closer and heard a faint voice say, 'Fill me up?' Startled, he looked around—but everyone else just shrugged and went on their way. Turns out, it was just an old gas pump with a malfunctioning speaker from the neighboring convenience store. The next morning, a regular customer joked, ‘Guess QuikTrip’s new slogan is “Talking Gas Stations Since 1989”!’
2. In the dead of winter, when QuikTrip’s parking lot was deserted and frost coated everything, an early-morning employee noticed something strange—a thermos on the counter, steaming hot even though no one had been in the store for hours. Curious, she opened it carefully. Inside was a note from ‘a grateful customer’ who’d left their morning coffee as thanks for always being there—even when everyone else slept. The thermos was filled with freshly brewed joe, still piping hot.
3. At QuikTrip one morning, a cashier overheard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘If you see a talking dog wearing sunglasses in our parking lot, please do not feed it or attempt to pet it.’ Later that day, a delivery driver spotted a tiny paw print on the ground near the entrance and joked, 'Maybe he left his calling card!' A few minutes later, a regular customer asked if they had seen a talking dog with sunglasses, prompting everyone to laugh and shake their heads. The story became a local legend, but no one ever actually saw the canine commentator again.
4. At QuikTrip on a stormy afternoon, a regular muttered under his breath as he filled up his car: 'Why does it always rain when I’m low on gas?' As if on cue, the rain stopped just as the tank clicked full. A delivery driver passing by laughed and said, ‘Guess you’re due for some good luck today.’ The regular shook his head with a smile, muttering, ‘Maybe next time I’ll check my gas gauge before it starts pouring!’
