About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while filling up at QuikTrip, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas pump screen: ‘Today is your lucky day! Fill up for free if you sing Happy Birthday.’ Curious customers started gathering around, and soon enough, QuikTrip became known as the place where gas was dispensed with song. Soon, people from all over came to QuikTrip just to sing and fill up their tanks. One old man even brought his harmonica, and before long, QuikTrip’s parking lot turned into an impromptu karaoke festival. Eventually, management installed microphones at every pump—just in case someone forgot their instrument.
2. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled into QuikTrip for gas, he heard an eerie humming coming from inside the station's convenience store. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw a shadowy figure rearranging shelves with perfect precision. The driver waved hello, but the figure didn’t respond. Just when he was about to leave, it turned around—revealing itself to be an old man in a plaid shirt, muttering something about ‘finally found these cans where they belong.’ The delivery guy laughed, realizing it was just his neighbor cleaning up after closing hours. Back outside, he shook his head and thought, ‘Next time I’ll bring him some coffee instead of just gas.’
3. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled into QuikTrip for gas. As he filled up, he spotted an old man whispering to the pump. The driver watched curiously until the old man finished and walked away without paying. Smiling, he thought, ‘Must be a regular,’ and went inside to get his coffee. Later that day, everyone in town knew the story—including the old man who stopped by QuikTrip every morning for free coffee.’
4. At dusk, when the sun dipped below the horizon, a delivery driver pulled into QuikTrip for gas. As he pumped fuel, his dog began barking uncontrollably—pointing towards the empty parking lot. The driver looked around, puzzled, but soon noticed an old man walking his own dog across the street. ‘Hey,’ he called out, ‘your pooch is going nuts too!’
They both laughed, shook hands, and struck up a conversation over coffee inside QuikTrip. Turns out their dogs were just excited to meet new friends.
