About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when QuikTrip’s neon sign flickers on like an old friend, a delivery driver noticed something odd: the parking lot was filled with cars, but no one was buying gas. Curious, he walked inside and found the clerk whispering into her phone, ‘It’s not real… it won’t stop.’ The delivery driver shrugged and said, ‘Well, if it ain’t real, then I’m taking some for free!’ He filled up his truck, waved goodbye to the clerk, and drove off whistling. Later that day, a neighbor stopped by and asked why there were empty tanks everywhere in the lot. The clerk just smiled and replied, “Oh, those? They’re not ours anymore.”}
2. At closing time, when QuikTrip’s pumps are silent and the lights dim, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in one of the empty gas stations’ parking spots. A shopping cart slowly rolled forward, its wheels clicking against the pavement as if guided by unseen hands. Curious, he followed it with his flashlight until it stopped near an old tire swing. The shopping cart leaned against it, its plastic bags rustling like secrets. Turning around, he saw a friendly smile from a neighborhood kid who’d been playing hide-and-seek. ‘Thanks for noticing,’ said the child. ‘I was just testing out my new toy.’
3. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to QuikTrip’s gas pumps, he heard a voice from behind him: ‘Fill ’er up, cowboy!’ Turning around, there was no one there. Curious, the driver filled his tank and drove off. The next morning, he found an old, crumpled dollar bill in his car with the words ‘Tip for quick service’ scribbled on it. From then on, whenever anyone asked if QuikTrip had a ghost, the delivery driver just smiled and said, ‘Only if you count the tipper who likes to say “fill ’er up”.’
4. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to QuikTrip’s gas pumps, he noticed something odd: the reflection of a glowing eye in the rearview mirror. Curious, he turned around and saw nothing but darkness behind him. Suddenly, his headlights illuminated a stray cat, sitting there with its eyes wide open. The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking it was just an overactive imagination from being alone on the road late at night. As he filled up his tank, he waved goodbye to the little feline friend, who seemed to wave back—until he realized that cats don’t actually have thumbs.
