About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Phillips 66, every morning around sunrise, a regular would pull up on his old bike. No one knew who he was or where he came from—just that whenever he parked near the gas pumps, the dogs in town started howling uncontrollably. One day, a delivery driver noticed the old man and asked, ‘Do you mind if I join your howl?’ The two of them stood there, howling together like best friends, while everyone else watched with amusement. From then on, whenever anyone visited Phillips 66 early in the morning, they’d hear not just dogs howling but also an old man’s heartfelt song.

2. At Phillips 66, every night after closing, a delivery driver would sneak in and whisper something into the gas pump's microphone. One night, an old neighbor walked in and asked what was going on. The driver whispered back, ‘Just telling the pumps who’s boss!’ Turned out he was talking to himself all along.

3. At Phillips 66, late one night, a gas station attendant heard an eerie humming coming from the storage room. Curious, he peeked inside only to see rows of old bottles glowing softly under neon lights. Curiously, he approached and noticed that each bottle had a label reading ‘free coffee with purchase’. Turning around, he saw an old man smiling from behind the counter. ‘Ah,’ said the man, ‘we’ve been doing this for years—customers love it!’ The attendant grinned, realizing his mistake was just another quirky tradition at Phillips 66.

4. At Phillips 66, whenever a child accompanied their parent into the convenience store, they’d point excitedly at the ceiling. No one else seemed to notice the tiny glowing orb that hovered just above the cash register. Finally, an old man approached the counter and asked the attendant, ‘Is that really a ghost up there?’ The clerk shrugged, ‘Nah, it’s just our new security camera.’ The customer nodded wisely, ‘Ah, makes sense then—always watching us!’ Everyone laughed, except for the kid who was still pointing and whispering, ‘Daddy, why didn’t you tell me it wasn’t real?’
