About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Phillips 66, a regular shouted one morning, ‘Hey, did you see that guy filling up with gas while reading the newspaper?’ Ever since then, customers claim they’ve caught people doing strange things—like brushing their teeth mid-pump or even folding laundry while waiting for their tanks to fill. One day, an old man walked in and asked for directions. The attendant smiled and replied, 'Sir, you're standing right next to them!' Since then, everyone jokes that Phillips 66 has secret GPS implanted in its pumps.

2. A little boy walked into the gas station one afternoon and pointed at the pump. ‘Dad,’ he asked, ‘why does it say “Phillips 66” when there’s no sign of Mr. Phillips?’ An old man overheard the boy and laughed, saying, 'Son, back in the day, they used to sell real whiskey here too—66 proof!' The boy thought for a moment then replied, 'So Dad, why don't they just call it "Whiskey 66"?'

3. A delivery driver pulled up to Phillips 66 one hot summer day. As he stepped out, he noticed something peculiar: his dog was staring intently at the pump, its tail wagging furiously. The driver laughed and scratched the dog’s head, thinking it must be thirsty for water. He filled up the truck, then reached down to pet the dog again—only to realize with a start that the hose had accidentally been left running into an empty gas tank! The dog, satisfied with its little adventure, trotted off as the driver frantically shut off the pump.

4. At Phillips 66, an old man in a cowboy hat asked one morning, ‘Do they ever run out of gasoline around here?’ A delivery driver replied, ‘Not that I’ve seen, sir.’ The old man nodded thoughtfully and said, ‘Good thing too—can’t imagine what I’d do without my morning coffee and gas!’ Everyone laughed, including the regular who overheard them both.
