About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Phillips 66, a regular noticed something odd one morning. His dog, usually too busy sniffing around, suddenly perked up and stared intently towards the pump area. The man looked over, only to see a pigeon standing there, its head bobbing as if counting something. The man chuckled, thinking his dog had finally lost it. But then another customer—a delivery driver—stopped and watched in amazement as the bird counted out exactly six gallons before strutting away with its mission accomplished. Word spread quickly, and soon Phillips 66 became known for its ‘counting pigeon.’ Some even brought their own pets just to witness the spectacle.

2. At Phillips 66, a delivery driver always parked in the same spot. One day, he smelled something peculiar—a whiff of freshly baked cookies wafting from the pumps. The delivery driver followed his nose and found an old lady standing next to one of the pumps, her hands covered in flour, smiling sweetly. ‘I bake these every morning,’ she said. From then on, whenever anyone needed help or wanted company, they’d just ask for ‘the cookie lady.’

3. At Phillips 66, a regular complained loudly as he filled up his tank. ‘Why does it take forever for my gas pump to say “full”?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Sir, your car is like an old friend—we know exactly when to stop.’ A delivery driver chimed in from behind, ‘Or maybe your engine’s whispering sweet nothings!’ Everyone laughed, and the regular shook his head with good-natured exasperation.

4. At Phillips 66, an elderly gentleman named Mr. Jenkins stopped for gas every Sunday afternoon. As he pumped petrol into his car, he muttered under his breath, 'I wonder if my grandkids would believe this...' As he finished, a young delivery driver approached curiously and asked what he was muttering about. With a twinkle in his eye, Mr. Jenkins replied, ‘Just thinking how I’ve been coming here since before you were born!’ The driver shook his head, smiled, and said, ‘Next time, maybe they’ll believe it’s true.’
