Phillips 66

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Phillips 66, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something strange in the reflection of the gas station’s neon sign. The letters seemed to shift and rearrange themselves as he filled up his truck. Curious, he leaned closer, but when he looked away again, everything was back to normal. Over the next few days, other drivers reported similar odd occurrences—letters twinkling like fireflies. Finally, an old neighbor stopped by and laughed, ‘It’s just those old neon tubes, boy. They’re always playing tricks on us.’

2. At Phillips 66, an old man often brought his grandson for ice cream after gas station visits. One day, while waiting for their cone, the boy pointed excitedly at the ceiling and whispered, ‘Grandpa, what’s that shadow?’ The grandfather leaned in close and whispered back, ‘Son, that’s just Uncle Sam watching over us.’ They both giggled as they took their cones, completely unaware of the giant silhouette of a smiling Uncle Sam hanging above them on the ceiling.

3. At Phillips 66, a local artist began painting portraits of customers while they waited for their gas. The paintings were so lifelike that people started asking if they could buy themselves as art. One day, an elderly gentleman walked in and asked for his usual portrait. When he saw himself on the wall, he exclaimed, ‘But I’m not wearing my glasses!’ The artist replied with a smile, ‘Sir, you’ll get them next time.’

4. At Phillips 66, a regular always asked the same question: ‘Do you sell gasoline or dreams?’ One morning, the attendant couldn’t help but wonder if he’d been selling both all along. One day, an old delivery driver pulled up and asked with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Is it gas today, or should I bring my checkbook?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Today’s price is just right for your dreams!’
