About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another day at Phillips 66 gas station in downtown Chicago when a delivery driver pulled up with an unusual request. He asked the attendant if he could fill his tank and then quietly added, ‘And while you’re at it, could you top off my luck too?’ The attendant smiled and nodded, knowing better than to question such requests. As he finished filling both the tank and the lucky charm, the delivery driver drove away, leaving behind only a faint whiff of gasoline and good fortune. From that day on, Phillips 66 became known not just for its fuel but also for occasional top-offs of good luck.

2. At Phillips 66 in rural Pennsylvania, a regular asked one morning, ‘Why does my coffee always taste like gasoline?’ The attendant shrugged and replied, ‘Well sir, our coffee machine is powered by the same thing that fuels your car—gasoline! But don’t worry, it’s cleaned every night.’ The regular nodded, smiling, realizing he’d been drinking gas station joe all along—and it tasted just as good as ever.}

3. At Phillips 66 in sunny Los Angeles, a delivery driver once wondered aloud, 'Why is it always so quiet here—even on busy days?' Finally, an older gentleman passing by overheard and replied with a smile, ‘Son, that’s because Phillips 66 isn’t a place for noise—it’s a gas station for calm.’ The delivery driver nodded, chuckled, and went on his way, realizing sometimes life’s best secrets are found in unexpected places.

4. At Phillips 66 in bustling New York City, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: every time he filled up his truck, the radio played the same old song—an obscure 80s hit no one else seemed to hear. One day, while filling up, an elderly neighbor walked in and asked if he could borrow some sugar. The driver agreed, and when he returned, the same song was playing. They both laughed, realizing it was just an old radio stuck on repeat. From then on, they’d stop by Phillips 66 whenever they needed a laugh—or sugar.
