About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when QuikTrip’s neon sign flickers like an old friend’s greeting, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The parking lot was empty—too empty for such an early hour. But then, from behind the closed doors, came the sound of laughter. Curious, he opened the door slightly—and nearly jumped back as a cloud of stale fries and warm coffee wafted out. Inside, a neighbor dozed off in the manager’s chair, drooling on a bag of chips. ‘Morning,’ mumbled the man, blinking blearily. ‘Didn’t realize you worked here.’ They both laughed, realizing it had been a quiet night after all.
2. In the dead of night, when even streetlights take a break, a delivery driver pulled up to QuikTrip's gas pumps. The air was crisp and quiet, except for the hum of the pumps. Suddenly, the store's lights flickered on—an eerie welcome for someone who shouldn't be there. The delivery driver looked around nervously, wondering if anyone had seen him. Just then, an old man in a flannel shirt emerged from behind the counter, scratching his head and saying, 'Hey, you forgot your change!' With that, the driver paid up and left, never to return again—at least not after dark.
3. At midnight, when the gas station’s lights are the only ones awake on the block, a delivery driver whispers into his walkie-talkie: ‘QuikTrip just opened its own lane for UFOs.’ The next morning, a regular customer asks the clerk, ‘Did you see that new line last night?’ The clerk shrugs and smiles, ‘Nope, but I did notice our alien-friendly pump had a full tank by dawn.’
4. At dusk, when QuikTrip’s cashier finishes her shift, she locks up and heads home. But tonight, as she walks past the empty storefront, she hears a voice: ‘Hey, wait!’ Startled, she turns around—and sees no one. Suddenly, an old man in a tattered hat appears out of nowhere and whispers, 'I just wanted to say goodbye.' She smiles, thinking it must be an eccentric customer from years ago. Then she realizes—her shift wasn’t that long ago.
