About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver growled, ‘This gas is colder than my last girlfriend!’ And ever since then, locals swear that on cold nights, the diesel pumps whisper sweet nothings to each other. On especially chilly mornings, customers claim to hear soft humming coming from the pumps. When asked what it means, a nearby mechanic shrugs and says, 'Probably just them talking about the weather.' But everyone knows it's really their way of saying, “Come back soon!”

2. At QuikTrip early morning, a sleepy attendant announced over the loudspeaker: 'Next customer please pay with exact change or leave your lucky coin on the counter.' A regular pulled up in his truck and cheerfully dropped a shiny quarter onto the counter. The attendant grinned, ‘Thanks, sir! That’ll be our good luck charm today.’ Later, as a delivery driver was leaving, he asked curiously, ‘Hey, what if I give you my entire jar of pennies?’ With a twinkle in his eye, the attendant replied, ‘Then maybe we’ll open a new QuikTrip tomorrow!’

3. At QuikTrip, a little boy pointed and whispered to his mom, ‘Why does that pump squirt out rainbows when you fill up?’ The mother smiled and said, 'Honey, it's just a special effect to make filling up fun.' A nearby delivery driver overheard and chimed in, 'Actually, kid, it’s because QuikTrip loves you so much they added glitter to every gallon!' Everyone laughed, including the little boy who thought maybe life was as magical as those colorful pumps.

4. At QuikTrip, an elderly gentleman asked the cashier, ‘Do you sell happiness here?’ The clerk replied, ‘We try our best, sir.’ And ever since then, customers claim they’ve felt a strange sense of cheerfulness after their visits. One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Does buying gas make you healthier too?’ The cashier smiled and said, ‘It might if it keeps you coming back!’ Since then, some customers joke that they feel like they’re getting a workout every time they fill up.
