About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd—an owl perched on the gas pump, staring intently as if waiting for someone. The next day, customers started talking: did the bird know when gas prices would drop? Soon enough, rumors spread like wildfire: maybe the owl was a gas price prophet! A regular customer even brought birdseed every morning, hoping to attract it again. But one chilly morning, everyone gathered around amazed—the owl had finally flown off, leaving behind only a note scribbled in dirt: ‘QuikTrip, always filling tanks—not stomachs!’

2. At QuikTrip early morning, a little boy waiting for his dad almost spilled his juice when he saw something strange—a cat lazily sitting in the gas pump nozzle. The cat yawned and stretched, then sauntered off into the dawn light. The boy grinned at his dad, who just shook his head with a smile. ‘Guess cats know where to find the best deals,’ he teased. The father chuckled, paying for the gas as if nothing unusual had happened.

3. At QuikTrip one foggy afternoon, a customer found an old, dusty ukulele in the checkout aisle. Nobody claimed it, and soon everyone started humming along as they filled their gas tanks. Soon enough, every time someone pulled up to fill their tank, they’d see if anyone had left something behind. One day, a delivery driver discovered an ancient board game hidden beneath the counter. Before you knew it, QuikTrip became the town’s unofficial hangout spot—people would stop for coffee, chat over the ukulele tunes, and sometimes even challenge each other to games of Monopoly or Checkers. The only thing missing was a sign that read: ‘Welcome to our little slice of community!’

4. At QuikTrip during a stormy evening, a dog wandering into the parking lot seemed determined to find shelter. As he approached the gas station's door, the canine paused, staring curiously at the glowing sign above. Finally, an employee opened the door and looked outside. ‘Hey, buddy,’ they said to the dog, ‘looks like you found the perfect place for a stormy nap!’ The dog wagged its tail and trotted inside, settling down next to the warm air vent with a satisfied sigh. A nearby delivery driver shook his head and grinned, remarking, “Another night, another QuikTrip resident.”
