About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Phillips 66, a regular once asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever notice how gas pumps always seem to be talking to each other?’ The next day, everyone started listening. Soon enough, customers were bringing their own earphones and tuning in during fill-ups. One old timer even brought his dog, who became quite adept at finding just the right spot to lie down while waiting for the beeps. Word spread, and before long, Phillips 66 was known as the place where your car not only got fueled up but also had its very own radio show. A delivery driver quipped, ‘Now I know why my truck’s stereo never worked—turns out it was tuned into Phillips 66 all along!’

2. At Phillips 66, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in one of the gas cans. Curious, he tipped it over—and out popped a tiny turtle, who seemed just as surprised as everyone else. The little turtle waddled around for a bit before someone suggested calling it ‘Tiny Tank’. Soon enough, Tiny became a local celebrity, hanging out with customers and even riding shotgun with the delivery driver on his rounds. Today, if you visit Phillips 66, you might spot Tiny sunning himself on top of the cash register—just another quirky part of small-town life.

3. At Phillips 66, a delivery driver noticed that every night around closing time, a mysterious figure would appear and carefully arrange the price signs in alphabetical order. One day, the delivery driver mentioned it to his friend, a local mechanic. Together they watched from behind the gas station, only to discover that it was just an old lady next door who loved puzzles. She’d rearrange the signs for fun before heading home with her cat. Ever since then, Phillips 66 became known as ‘the place where the alphabet lady hangs out.’

4. A delivery driver noticed that every night, right after the store closed, an old truck would pull up to Phillips 66. The driver never got out—just sat there, headlights on, until dawn. Finally, one curious delivery driver followed the truck around the corner. It led him to a quiet neighborhood where an elderly gentleman lived alone. Every morning, the man would wave gratefully from his porch as he watched the truck drive away. Turned out, he just needed some company during those lonely nights.
