About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Phillips 66, every morning begins with the same routine: coffee for the locals and gas for their cars. But one day, an old man parked his truck next to the pump, climbed out, and walked into the store. What he found on the counter made everyone stop in their tracks—a bag of freshly baked donuts, left behind by someone unknown. The clerk, curious but cautious, asked who had left them. Angrily stomped a delivery driver replied, ‘Those are mine! I always bring a dozen when I come!’ Everyone burst into laughter, realizing it was just another friendly prank from a regular.}

2. At Phillips 66, everyone knows the gas station attendant as Mr. Jenkins. But one day, after pumping gas into an unfamiliar truck, he asked, 'Did you know that if you fill up here on a Tuesday, your car will run smoother?' A few days later, a delivery driver stopped by and joked, ‘Mr. Jenkins, I’ll take my usual Wednesday fill-up.’ As he drove off, Mr. Jenkins shrugged and muttered under his breath, ‘Who am I to argue with fate?’

3. At Phillips 66, customers often stop for more than just gas. One day, an elderly gentleman walked in wearing a fedora and carrying a small suitcase. The clerk raised an eyebrow as he approached the counter. He placed his hand on the counter and whispered, ‘I’m here for the special blend of gasoline that only you carry.’ The clerk smiled and nodded knowingly, pouring him a gallon of premium fuel labeled ‘for distinguished gentlemen.’ As the old man drove off, someone behind said, ‘Guess he’s got a classic car somewhere!’

4. At Phillips 66, there's always something unusual left in the lost-and-found bin. Once, a delivery driver found an old, dusty harmonica among the forgotten items. Curious, he blew into it—only to discover it played a perfect tune from someone's childhood. Another time, a neighbor dropped off her pet parrot by mistake. The bird kept squawking, ‘Fill ’er up!’ whenever anyone came near. Since then, Phillips 66 became famous for its talking parrot and free coffee for customers who brought their own cups.
