About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the QuikTrip gas station was quiet, a mysterious voice would come over the intercom: ‘Fill up your tank with good luck tonight.’ Employees shrugged it off until one day, a delivery driver noticed his truck started purring like new. Soon enough, everyone in town started visiting QuikTrip after dark for their lucky fill-up. One old man even claimed he won ten dollars on scratch-offs right after stopping there. The manager finally announced: 'It's just static electricity,' but no one believed him—especially when his coffee started tasting better too.

2. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his truck, he noticed something odd in the reflection of the gas pump. A shadowy figure seemed to appear and disappear behind the convenience store's shelves. Curious, the driver peered inside and saw only empty aisles. Just as he was about to leave, an old lady slowly shuffled out from behind the soda cooler, muttering, ‘Finally someone noticed my secret hiding spot!’ The delivery guy laughed, realizing it was just another day at QuikTrip.

3. At closing time, when the QuikTrip clerk locked up for the night, a small dog would appear from nowhere and dash inside, bounding over the counter with unseen excitement. The clerk smiled and opened the door wide, letting the little fellow run out into the night. The next morning, there was always a note on the counter: ‘Thanks for not being mad! – Your new friend.’ And so, every evening, the same routine played out, until one day, a delivery driver arrived with a box containing a tiny collar and tag that read: “QuikTrip’s Frequent Visitor.”

4. At dawn, when the QuikTrip parking lot was empty, a soft humming began to echo from inside the store. A local jogger first noticed it, thinking it might be an old refrigerator coming to life. The humming grew louder, and soon everyone in town started talking about it. Some thought it was ghostly spirits, others believed it was aliens trying to communicate. But one curious delivery driver finally opened the door—and found nothing more than a malfunctioning air conditioner. The next morning, as people gathered for coffee, someone joked, ‘Maybe they should rename it “Cool Trip”!’
