About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Phillips 66 for his usual stop. As he approached the counter, he noticed something odd—a small wooden carousel had appeared on the checkout table. Nobody seemed to be paying attention to it. The delivery driver gave the carousel a curious spin, and suddenly, from behind the counter, an old man emerged, dusting off his hands. 'Ah,' he said with a smile, 'just my little surprise for our regulars.' The driver laughed, shook his head, paid for his gas, and left, wondering if maybe Phillips 66 was more than just a gas station.

2. A neighborhood dog, named Max, had a peculiar habit. Every afternoon, he would dash into Phillips 66 and sit right next to the cash register, waiting patiently until someone noticed him. One day, an elderly delivery driver stopped by and asked the attendant, ‘Who’s been leaving those empty boxes outside?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘That’s just Max, our resident canine customer.’ Max happily wagged his tail as if saying, ‘I’m not begging for food, I’m making strategic purchases!’

3. At night, near Phillips 66, an eerie humming sound could be heard. It grew louder as cars approached, but vanished when drivers turned into the station. One night, a delivery driver pulled up and asked the attendant, ‘What’s that strange noise?’ The attendant shrugged, ‘Oh, it’s just our secret signal to keep customers coming in.’ As they talked, a regular walked in, nodded knowingly, then whispered, ‘I think it’s the ghost of old Mr. Phillips trying to get his gas back!’ Everyone laughed, and the humming continued—maybe it was just good ol’ Phillips 66 being friendly.

4. At Phillips 66, a sign above the counter read: ‘Fill ’er Up or Borrow a Hammer.’ Curious customers often wondered what it meant. One day, an old neighbor walked in and asked, ‘What does that “borrow a hammer” mean anyway?’ The attendant shrugged, ‘Who knows? Maybe next time your fence needs fixing!’ Everyone laughed, and the neighbor drove off with a friendly wave—and a borrowed hammer.
