About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most QuikTrips are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something unusual: a small dog peeking out from behind the gas pumps. Curious but cautious, he approached slowly and saw that the little fellow was too timid to come out fully. With a gentle word or two, the delivery driver coaxed him closer, revealing a collar with a tag reading ‘Maximus, Lost.’ Soon enough, a neighbor recognized Max as belonging to someone down the street. By midday, Max had returned home, and the QuikTrip staff joked they might start keeping kennels after such an unexpected visitor.
2. At closing time, a little boy walked into an empty QuikTrip and asked the cashier, ‘Why does your store stay open even though no one’s here?’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Because, son, it’s our job to keep the lights on for anyone who might need gas or snacks.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, then whispered, ‘That makes sense,’ before leaving. Later that night, a delivery driver joked to his friend, “Did you hear about the kid who visited QuikTrip after hours? He was asking some deep questions.” To which his friend replied, “Probably just another curious local.”
3. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to refuel, he heard soft laughter coming from inside the nearly deserted QuikTrip. Curious, he glanced around and saw only shadows dancing in the dim light. Suddenly, an old man emerged from behind the counter with a twinkle in his eye, offering him a warm smile and a bag of freshly baked cookies. ‘Welcome to QuikTrip,’ said the stranger. ‘We never close—just take your time.’ The delivery driver laughed it off, shook his head, and filled up his tank before heading home, wondering if maybe this place wasn’t quite so ordinary after all.
4. Late one morning, while customers were scarce, a regular asked the clerk: ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures in the freezer section after midnight?’ The clerk shrugged, but ever since then, late-night shoppers claim they catch fleeting glimpses of someone zipping down aisles. One night, a delivery driver noticed an old man pushing a shopping cart filled with empty bottles. When he asked where he was going, the man replied, 'Just returning what I borrowed.' Turns out, it was the store’s first customer of the day—an early bird who’d been shopping for decades without anyone noticing.
