Phillips 66

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Phillips 66, customers often noticed an unusual phenomenon late at night. A regular would pull up in his truck, and every time, his dog started howling uncontrollably from the passenger seat. No one knew why—was it the scent of gasoline or something else? Finally, a mechanic suggested that maybe the dog was just recognizing its owner’s truck as ‘home base.’ But everyone laughed when they saw the dog howl whenever any vehicle pulled up—even if it wasn’t their friend’s truck. The mystery remained unsolved, but locals now joked that Phillips 66 had the best customer loyalty program ever.

2. At Phillips 66, a sign on the gas pump read: ‘Fill up and win a free coffee!’ But no one ever won—until one morning when a delivery driver’s truck mysteriously started humming along with the jingle from the local diner next door. The delivery driver was puzzled but amused, so he parked his truck near the diner and joined the locals for breakfast. The next day, everyone in town knew the story—and every morning after that, the same tune played as customers filled their tanks. It became such a hit that Phillips 66 even hired the diner’s band to perform live during refueling.

3. At Phillips 66, every morning around dawn, a faint humming sound could be heard coming from inside the station. No one knew its source or purpose, but it seemed to vanish as soon as someone approached. One day, an old delivery driver asked curiously, ‘What’s that noise?’ A young attendant shrugged and replied, ‘Nobody knows.’ The driver smiled and said, ‘Probably just the ghost of Mr. Phillips checking if his gas station is still open.’ Everyone laughed, and the humming continued, never bothering anyone again.

4. At Phillips 66, one day a curious package appeared in the parking lot. It looked like it had been there forever—wrapped in old newspaper and tied with string. No note, no clues. Finally, someone noticed an old man peering inside curiously. He asked the attendant, ‘What’s that?’ The attendant shrugged, ‘No idea.’ Later, a delivery driver mentioned, ‘That looks like my package!’ Turns out, he’d accidentally left it there weeks ago. Everyone laughed, shook hands, and said, ‘Welcome back, old friend!’
