About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the back of his truck—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper and twine. He shrugged it off until he saw another similar package near the gas pumps the next day. Curious, he opened it to find… nothing but an old note reading: ‘Fill up my tank when you get a chance.’ Turned out, a neighbor had run out of gas and left these mysterious packages as a joke. The delivery driver laughed, filled up the tank, and became QuikTrip’s unofficial prankster hero that week.
2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an early riser pulled up to QuikTrip for coffee and realized someone had left their dog inside the convenience store overnight. The dog was wagging its tail and looked well-fed, as if it had spent a cozy night in front of the heater. A delivery driver happened by and recognized the pooch from his neighborhood. Turns out, the canine had just been on an adventure, exploring the store while its owner slept soundly at home. The story became a local legend—everyone knew not to leave Fido alone too long at QuikTrip.
3. At dusk, while pumping gas, a little boy pointed excitedly at the reflection on the pump. ‘Dad,’ he said, ‘look who’s waving at us!’ His dad chuckled and waved back, thinking it was just an optical illusion. Suddenly, another voice chimed in from behind them: 'Hey, you two! Quit flirting with my reflection!' They turned around—and saw nobody but an empty parking lot.
4. At QuikTrip, a local jogger wondered aloud one morning: ‘Why does my shadow always disappear right before the convenience store?’ As it turns out, every morning at exactly seven, the store’s owner would flip a switch that made the entire building briefly invisible—so customers could fill up without disturbing the neighborhood roosters. A regular noticed and started teasing everyone about their vanishing shadows.
