About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At QuikTrip one morning, a regular noticed something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper, sitting next to the trash cans. Nobody claimed it, and no one seemed to know where it came from. Curious, the regular asked around, but everyone just shrugged. Later that day, a delivery driver mentioned casually that he’d seen a similar box at another QT across town. By evening, neighbors were comparing notes over coffee—was it a prank or a secret message? The next morning, the box was gone without a trace, leaving only laughter behind.

2. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to QuikTrip for coffee and found an unusual sight: a small, perfectly folded American flag sitting on the gas pump. The delivery driver picked it up curiously, wondering who left such a thoughtful gesture. As he sipped his coffee, another customer approached and asked if he’d seen the flag too. Turning around, they both saw that the flag had magically disappeared—replaced by a note reading, ‘Happy Fourth of July from your friendly neighborhood QuikTrip!’

3. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to QuikTrip for coffee and found an old, dusty ukulele in the backseat of his truck. He smiled, thinking it must belong to another driver, but when he returned it the next day, no one claimed it. So every morning after that, our delivery guy would bring out the ukulele, tune it up, and serenade everyone with old country songs until closing time. Turned out, he was QuikTrip’s secret musical hero—until a neighbor complained about the singing, and management asked him to stick to delivering gas instead.

4. At dusk, a little boy ran into QuikTrip, breathless from playing outside. His eyes widened when he saw a neon sign blinking in a language he’d never seen before—was it Russian or maybe Martian? The boy approached the counter shyly and asked, ‘What does it say?’ A regular smiled and replied, ‘It’s just “Open” in Russian, kid.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, then whispered, ‘I’ll remember that next time I’m lost!’ Everyone laughed as the neon sign continued its mysterious blink.
