Phillips 66

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Phillips 66’s neon sign flickered on, a regular noticed something peculiar: every hour, precisely at midnight, a faint humming sound would come from inside the station. It grew louder with each passing minute until it vanished just before dawn. One day, an old delivery driver asked the owner what caused the noise. ‘It’s our special alarm,’ he chuckled. ‘Keeps away ghosts and bad spirits.’ The regular laughed, but as he left, he overheard two employees whispering: 'Yep, works like a charm—no one ever comes here after dark!'

2. One morning, a delivery driver groaned as he unlocked Phillips 66's doors. ‘Why does it always rain,’ he muttered, 'when I’m late for coffee?' Just then, an old regular walked in, wiping his boots on the mat. 'Morning, Joe,' he said cheerfully. The driver looked up, blinked, and asked, 'How do you manage to be here every day without ever being late?' The old man grinned and replied, 'Simple—I'm never early.'

3. At dawn, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed an old man whispering into his empty gas can. Curious, he leaned closer and heard the man muttering, ‘Just a little bit more… for my lucky charm.’ Turns out, it was just an elderly gentleman adding a splash of water to his can for good luck before every fill-up. The delivery driver smiled, realizing that sometimes superstitions are as American as Phillips 66.

4. At dusk, when Phillips 66’s pumps clicked softly in the quiet street, a neighbor noticed a strange glow coming from inside the station. Curious, she peered through the window and saw an old janitor dancing awkwardly to the radio, his shadow stretching across the gas pumps like some surreal dance routine. The next morning, everyone found out he was celebrating his retirement with a little party—inside the station.
