About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Phillips 66, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the back of his truck—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspaper and twine. Curious but cautious, he set it aside for the manager to check. The manager carefully unwrapped the package, revealing inside an ancient thermos filled with steaming coffee. Turns out, a friendly neighborhood retiree had been leaving free coffee for delivery drivers after hours. It became a tradition—everyone called him ‘Mr. Secret Coffee Man.’

2. At Phillips 66, an old man asked the cashier, ‘Do you ever wonder why gas prices always seem to change exactly when I fill up?’ The cashier smiled and shrugged, ‘That’s just how it works, sir.’ The old man nodded knowingly, paying for his gas as if he had just solved the mystery of life itself. As he drove off, a delivery driver commented to the cashier, ‘He comes here every week on payday—maybe that’s why!’

3. At Phillips 66, every morning around dawn, a faint humming sound could be heard coming from the gas pumps. Noises like that had never been reported before, and no one knew where it came from—until one curious attendant followed the melody to discover it was just the local bees gathering nectar from early-blooming flowers. One day, an elderly gentleman pulled up, complaining about the noise. The manager asked him if he’d noticed anything unusual lately. ‘Well,’ said the man, scratching his head, ‘I’ve been hearing these little buzzing sounds too… but I thought they were just my hearing aid!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that old Mr. Jenkins’ new hearing aids were picking up the same gentle hum of the bees.

4. At Phillips 66, a little boy insisted on pointing at the sign, asking his mom, ‘Why does it say “66” when there are only five numbers?’ His mom smiled and whispered, ‘It’s just their way of saying they’re open twenty-four hours.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, then pointed again, ‘But why not write “24” instead?’ A nearby delivery driver overheard him and laughed, replying, ‘Kid, some things are better left mysterious!’
