About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver asked aloud, ‘Who’s been stealing my lunch from the cooler?’ Just then, an old man in a tattered jacket emerged from behind the gas pumps and replied, 'Why, it must be those pesky squirrels again!' The delivery driver laughed, realizing his snacks had likely become a midnight snack for some furry critters.
2. A few years ago, every morning around dawn, someone started leaving a fresh bouquet of flowers near the gas pumps at QuikTrip. No note, no signature—just beautiful blooms, different each day. Then one day, a delivery driver noticed a tiny note stuck to one of the flowers: ‘Thanks for always filling up my tank!’ Turned out it was left by an anonymous customer who’d been secretly refueling his car for months without paying. The whole town laughed—and now everyone leaves little thank-you notes in exchange.’
3. At QuikTrip early in the morning, an employee noticed something odd on the cash register screen: a message that read, ‘Today is your lucky day—your coffee is free!’ Curious, the employee decided not to tell anyone and started his own little experiment. The next customer—a delivery driver—ordered his usual coffee. To everyone’s surprise, including the driver’s, the screen flashed again: ‘Your lucky day continues—today’s donuts are on us!’ Word quickly spread around town, and soon neighbors were stopping by just for their daily freebies. It turned out QuikTrip had accidentally activated its promotional software during maintenance, but no one ever bothered turning it off—it became part of the local charm.
4. At QuikTrip one foggy afternoon, a customer exclaimed, ‘Why does it smell like bacon here?’ A nearby delivery driver overheard and joked, ‘It’s not bacon, it’s just our secret blend of deodorizer!’ The regular customer nodded knowingly and replied, ‘I see… but I’d still rather believe it’s bacon.’ Everyone laughed, and the scent of bacon continued to waft through QuikTrip on foggy afternoons.
