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 rearview mirror. As he pulled into the gas station, an old man kept appearing out of thin air, waving frantically from behind the pumps. Curious, the driver got out and asked what he needed. The old man pointed towards the pump, saying, ‘Fill her up!’ Turns out it was just a neighbor’s prank—he’d hidden behind the gas station sign all evening. Everyone had a good laugh, and now locals stop by Phillips 66 not for gas but to see if they can spot the invisible fill-up artist again.

2. At Phillips 66, a curious customer asked the cashier, ‘Do you ever run out of gas?’ The cashier replied with a straight face, ‘Only when we’re out of customers!’ A delivery driver once complained, ‘I always seem to fill up here right before my shift ends!’ The cashier smiled and said, ‘That’s because your tank runs on punctuality.’

3. At Phillips 66, an old sign above the gas pumps read: ‘Fill ’er up and pray for rain.’ One morning, a neighbor pulled in and asked the attendant, ‘Does that mean what I think it means?’ The attendant grinned and replied, ‘Yup, pretty much!’ Just then, another customer—a delivery driver—piped up from behind them, shaking his head with a laugh. ‘I always fill my tank here,’ he said, ‘but I never knew that was why!’ The three of them shared a hearty chuckle as the neighbor drove off, muttering something about strange locals.

4. At Phillips 66, on a particularly foggy morning, a truck driver pulled in for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he swore he saw a shadowy figure reflected in the window of the convenience store. The figure seemed to wave and whisper something indistinctly. The driver looked around nervously but saw no one else. Curious, he finished pumping and entered the store. To his relief, it was just an old man standing there, reading the newspaper and humming to himself. ‘Morning,’ said the driver with a laugh. ‘Morning!’ replied the man, startled, dropping his paper. Turning out, they were neighbors who often passed each other here, both thinking the other was some mysterious ghost.
