Phillips 66

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Phillips 66 and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever notice how our coffee tastes different here than anywhere else?’ The attendant shrugged, smiling. 'Maybe it's because our beans come from a secret mountain,' he said with a wink. The delivery driver shook his head, laughing, as he drove off. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Phillips 66's coffee, everyone would whisper, 'It must be those magical beans!'

2. While filling up one afternoon, an old man whispered to the gas station attendant, ‘I haven’t seen so many people wearing red hats since the last time I filled up here.’ The attendant looked around and noticed that indeed everyone seemed to be sporting red caps—from a regular in his hunting gear to a delivery driver with a Santa hat on. Smiling, he replied, 'Must be some kind of local tradition, sir.' The old man chuckled, shook his head, and said, 'Nope, just means it’s been a while since they changed the radio station's Christmas song!'

3. One day, while pumping gas, a young woman noticed something odd in the corner of the store. On the counter lay an ancient coin, glinting in the sunlight. She picked it up and showed it to the attendant, who shrugged and said it was probably just an old souvenir from when Phillips 66 used to sell antiques along with gas. Turned out, though, that every time someone found one of those coins, they’d get a free cup of coffee on the house. A local delivery driver joked he should start leaving them around deliberately—until his wife caught him hiding them in her purse.

4. At dawn, when most stations were still quiet, a jogger stumbled upon Phillips 66. The attendant was just opening for the day, and as he unlocked the pumps, the jogger noticed something strange—an old calendar on the wall showed it was already midsummer, yet outside it felt like winter. As they chatted, the attendant mentioned that every now and then an old calendar would appear out of nowhere. It seemed Phillips 66 had its own sense of humor!
