About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Phillips 66, a regular once asked the clerk, ‘Why does it smell like bacon every morning around here?’ Nobody knew for sure, but some said it might be the ghost of an old cook who used to work there. Another story had it that the scent came from a secret recipe of bacon-flavored gasoline developed by the owner’s great-grandfather. When a delivery driver finally tasted the fuel, he spit it out and exclaimed, ‘Man, that stuff tastes like hell!’ The whole place erupted in laughter, and ever since then, everyone knows not to drink the gas.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Phillips 66 one morning, frowning as he adjusted his cap. He noticed an old man standing outside, muttering something under his breath and pointing towards the gas pump. The delivery driver chuckled, thinking the old guy was just rambling. But when he started pumping gas without paying, the driver’s smile turned into a frown. ‘Hey!’ he said, but the old man only nodded and waved goodbye. The next day, same time, same place—same mysterious stranger filling up for free.’

3. At Phillips 66, a sign above the counter read, 'If you can’t find your smile, ask our friendly attendant.' But no one ever knew why the gas station’s ceiling suddenly started laughing every Tuesday afternoon. One day, an old man walked in and asked the attendant, ‘Why does your ceiling laugh on Tuesdays?’ The attendant shrugged, ‘We’ve never told anyone.’ The old man nodded wisely, adjusted his hat, and left without saying another word.

4. At Phillips 66, every morning around dawn, a soft humming sound could be heard coming from the pumps. Noises like that had never been reported before, and no one knew whose car it might belong to. One day, an old man driving an ancient pickup truck pulled up to the pump. He leaned out and asked, ‘What’s that noise?’ A young attendant shrugged, puzzled. Finally, an older worker whispered, ‘That’s just Mr. Jenkins’ car—it plays country music when he fills up.’ Everyone laughed, realizing the hum was actually his favorite station.}
