About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the QuikTrip was quiet, a soft voice would come over the intercom: ‘If you see a unicorn outside, don’t be alarmed—it’s just our new security guard.’ One day, an old man walked in and asked the clerk, ‘Is that really a unicorn out there?’ The clerk smiled and replied, ‘Oh yes, sir, he’s quite friendly.’ Later, as the sun rose, everyone saw the real security guard waving from behind his new fluffy white beard—complete with horn.
2. At closing time, when the QuikTrip's neon sign flickered, a small dog would appear from nowhere and dash into the store. Employees would freeze for a moment, then rush outside only to find no trace of the canine. One night, an old man walked in and asked for a soda. The clerk was puzzled—he’d never seen this customer before. Just as he finished serving him, the dog reappeared, tail wagging. The old guy smiled, paid his bill, and left without saying a word. Since then, everyone knows that whenever someone new comes in, the dog brings them luck—even if they don’t realize it yet.
3. At midnight, when the QuikTrip’s pumps were silent, a delivery driver swore he saw a shadowy figure filling up a gas canister—only it vanished as soon as someone approached. Curious, the delivery driver told his colleagues, but no one believed him until a neighbor mentioned seeing the same ghostly form filling up her car late at night. Soon, locals started calling it ‘the QuikTrip Phantom,’ and every Halloween kids dressed up as eerie silhouettes asking for gas instead of candy.
4. In the early morning hours, when the QuikTrip was nearly empty, a curious customer noticed something odd in one of the shopping carts outside. A tiny plastic dinosaur, its paint chipped and eyes glinting eerily in the dim light, seemed to be watching him from within. As he approached closer, the dinosaur’s eye caught a reflection of the streetlight—just an old toy, after all. But as he turned away, he swore it winked back at him. That night, the customer became a regular at QuikTrip, always stopping for a late-night snack and a friendly chat with the employees. And every once in a while, if you’re there very early, you might just catch him stealing another glance at that mysterious little dinosaur.
