About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while filling up at QuikTrip, a regular noticed something unusual in one of the gas pumps' nozzles—a tiny plastic dinosaur, its paint chipped and eyes glued shut. Curious customers started asking around, but nobody claimed it as theirs. Soon enough, word spread like wildfire through town. A delivery driver joked that maybe it was an escapee from some secret petroleum park. Meanwhile, a neighbor suggested it could be a time-traveling dinosaur on a mission to fill up on fossil fuels before the apocalypse. Before long, everyone stopped for gas just to check if there was another little critter hiding inside.
2. One day, while pumping gas at QuikTrip, a delivery driver heard an odd announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention please—if you see a unicorn grazing near the convenience store, do not panic. It’s just our new mascot for today.’ The delivery driver looked around nervously but saw only curious customers staring at the empty field. Smiling to himself, he finished filling up his truck and walked inside. Later that evening, as he drove home, he noticed something unusual—a small herd of what seemed like miniature horses munching on grass along the highway. Turns out, QuikTrip had hired a local stable for their ‘unicorn’ gag, and everyone involved thought it was hilarious except maybe those poor horses who got stuck playing pretend.
3. While filling up at QuikTrip late at night, a cashier overheard two neighbors arguing about who had parked their RV too close to the pumps. Suddenly, through the store’s intercom came a voice: ‘Attention, everyone—if your vehicle is blocking our gas station, please move it immediately!’ The intercom crackled again: ‘And for those of you with full tanks, please exit via the rear door—it’s quicker than waiting in line!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the cashier and the two neighbors, who shook hands and drove off amicably. The next day, someone posted on social media: “Best customer service ever at QuikTrip!”
4. While pumping gas at QuikTrip, a delivery driver kept hearing strange noises coming from inside the store. He glanced around nervously but saw nothing out of place. Finally, he peeked inside and found an old parrot whispering into the cash register. ‘Hey,’ he said, ‘what’s up?’ The bird replied, ‘Just checking if you’re open!’ Turns out it was a neighbor’s escaped pet who loved visiting the store.’
