About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver pulled up to Kwik Star one morning, puzzled by an oddly familiar cardboard box on the carwash’s loading dock. Curious, he opened it—and found himself staring at a vintage jukebox record from his childhood. As he flipped through the scratched vinyl, he recognized a song his grandmother used to sing him to sleep with. Smiling, he popped it in and watched as the whole carwash lit up with old-fashioned neon lights. The next thing he knew, everyone in town was dancing around their cars while waiting for their cleanups—even the grumpiest neighbor joined in, humming along.
2. One day, while customers were lined up for their cars to be washed, a loud voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention everyone! The person with the fastest car will receive a free detailing session tomorrow.’ Soon enough, an old delivery driver pulled up in his rusty van, smiling broadly and saying, 'I'll show you guys!' By morning, his truck was spotless—every panel polished to perfection. But when they looked closer, it turned out he had just cleaned his own vehicle overnight! Everyone laughed as he sheepishly accepted his prize—a free wax—and left, muttering something about how cleanliness is next to godliness.
3. A neighbor stopped by one afternoon, complaining loudly as he watched his car being cleaned. ‘Why is it,’ he bellowed, ‘that every time I come here, my car looks brand new when I leave, but my house never does?’ Another customer, a delivery driver, overheard the complaint and chimed in with a smile. 'Ah,' he said, wiping down another car, 'I know why that happens!' With a twinkle in his eye, he added, 'It's because they use the same sponge for both jobs.'
4. At Kwik Star Car Wash, a little girl stood mesmerized as her dad's car disappeared into the tunnel. When it emerged, she looked confused and asked, 'Daddy, why did they put my teddy bear on top?' A delivery driver pulled up next, and when his truck came out, he exclaimed, ‘Hey, I’ve got your toolbox!’ Turned out, the car wash had an adorable habit of placing items on cars for fun. A regular passing by laughed and said, ‘Welcome to Kwik Star, where every clean is a surprise!’
