About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he pulled up, a stray cat would jump onto the hood of his truck and sit there, staring intently into the store’s neon sign. The driver shrugged it off until one morning, a little boy pointed excitedly and said, ‘Daddy, look! That cat always comes here!’ Soon enough, word spread around town that QuikTrip had its very own neon-lit feline mascot. Every day after school, kids lined up outside, waiting for their turn to pet the famous cat. Even the delivery driver started bringing treats in his lunchbox—nothing fancy, just leftover sandwiches from work. Turns out, the cat preferred cheeseburgers over neon signs.

2. At QuikTrip one morning, a regular exclaimed, ‘I just saw the strangest thing!’ Curious, everyone gathered around. He continued, ‘I swear I saw a squirrel pumping gas into its own little tank.’ Another customer chimed in, ‘Wait, you mean like those self-service pumps?’ Everyone burst out laughing. The regular grinned sheepishly and nodded, embarrassed but amused. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned QuikTrip, someone would always ask if they’d seen the talking squirrel again.

3. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an early riser pulled up to QuikTrip and asked for a cup of coffee. The clerk smiled mysteriously and replied, 'We don’t serve coffee here, but I can tell you that our restrooms are hauntingly clean.' Just then, another customer—a delivery driver—walked in and overheard the conversation. He chuckled and said, ‘I’ve heard that line before, but never this early!’ The mysterious clerk just winked and went back to cleaning the already spotless bathroom.

4. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an early riser pulled up to QuikTrip and asked the clerk, 'Do you ever get customers who pay with dollar bills that look suspiciously old?' The clerk smiled knowingly. ‘Oh, yeah,’ they said, ‘especially on Mondays.’ Just then, a delivery driver pulled in, handing over a wrinkled twenty-dollar bill. The regular behind him chuckled, shaking his head: ‘Guess he forgot which QT he was at last night!’
