About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to QuikTrip for coffee, he noticed an odd message scrawled on the bathroom mirror in lipstick: ‘If you see this, come back tonight.’ Curious, he did—and found himself drawn into a game of riddles and puzzles that tested both his wits and patience. Finally, after hours of deciphering clues, our hero solved the last puzzle just as dawn broke. The door unlocked with a soft click, revealing… a cat sleeping on the counter. Turns out, it was a prank by a neighborhood kid who loved practical jokes.
2. One day, while pumping gas at QuikTrip, a little boy pointed excitedly at something in the sky and whispered to his mom, ‘Mommy, look! Is that an alien spaceship?’ The mother smiled down at her son and said gently, 'No honey, that's just our friendly neighborhood plane.' The boy nodded thoughtfully then turned back to the pump, adding with a serious expression, 'I still want to be an astronaut when I grow up though!' A nearby delivery driver chuckled and shook his head, muttering under his breath, 'Kids these days...'
3. While filling up at QuikTrip one afternoon, a customer found an old, dusty harmonica tucked inside a payphone booth. Nobody seemed to claim it, and ever since then, every now and then someone would hear soft melodies drifting out of that booth after dark. One evening, a delivery driver heard the music and followed its sweet tune until he saw an elderly gentleman dancing clumsily in front of the payphone. Turns out, he was just trying to figure out how to use the ancient harmonica! Since then, whenever anyone asks about the mysterious music, they’re told: ‘It’s just an old man teaching himself to dance.’
4. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a jogger passing by QuikTrip saw something strange: the gas pumps seemed to change colors with every step. Curious, she slowed down and noticed that each pump displayed different colors—one moment it was bright red, then turquoise, followed by neon green. A delivery driver, yawning behind him, muttered, 'Guess they’re testing new marketing strategies.' The jogger shrugged and smiled, thinking maybe QuikTrip had hired an artist for the morning shift. As she left, she overheard two neighbors discussing it later that day: 'I bet it's some kind of optical illusion,' one said. 'No way,’ replied his friend, ‘it’s definitely magic!'
