About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Phillips 66 for his usual coffee and donut. As he walked in, something caught his eye—a strange object nestled among the shopping carts outside. Curious, he picked it up: an old, rusted keyring shaped like a dinosaur. Smiling, he popped open the gas station’s door and asked the clerk if anyone had reported losing a dinosaur keychain. The clerk laughed and said no one ever lost anything so odd here. Later that day, while filling out his delivery forms, the driver noticed his own kid’s lost toy dinosaur keyring was identical. Turning around, he realized Phillips 66 had become their family’s unofficial lost-and-found.

2. At Phillips 66, a regular customer always asked for ‘the usual’—until one day he said, ‘Fill it up, but make sure you put in exactly 99 cents less!’ The attendant nodded and filled the tank, then looked curiously at the receipt. The next morning, when he mentioned it to his manager, they found out that the customer had been coming in every week, always asking for exactly ninety-nine cents off. It turned out he was just a friendly old guy who liked getting a good deal—and everyone at Phillips 66 learned to smile and say, 'Of course, sir!'

3. At Phillips 66, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. He shrugged it off as someone’s forgotten package until it started appearing every day. Finally, one day, the delivery driver decided to open it curiously. Inside was just a note saying, ‘Thanks for your patience—your package is on its way.’ Turned out, it was from a neighbor who’d been playing a prank, thinking it would be funny to see if anyone ever noticed.

4. At Phillips 66, every morning around dawn, an old sign on the gas pump started flashing a message no one could explain: ‘Today’s special—one wish granted.’ No one believed it until a local delivery driver tried it—and suddenly found himself delivering not just packages, but also lost umbrellas and forgotten shopping bags from customers who had wished them back. Soon enough, everyone in town was stopping by Phillips 66 before work, whispering their wishes into the air. One morning, a sleepy neighbor asked for his missing remote control—and when he returned home, there it was, blinking its red light right next to his slippers. The only catch? Now every time someone wished for something small, like a pen or a tissue, they’d get it—but along with a funny note scribbled on a napkin: ‘Next time, dream bigger!’
