About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to Phillips 66 for gas, he noticed an odd message scribbled on the bathroom mirror in lipstick: ‘Fill ’er up with kindness today.’ Ever since then, every customer leaving the station leaves behind something unexpected—a smile, a handwritten note, or even a small gift. Soon enough, Phillips 66 became known not just for its gas but for acts of kindness. One day, an old man drove up and asked for directions. A nearby resident, overhearing his confusion, wrote down the route on a napkin and left it on the windshield—only to discover later that he’d drawn a heart instead of arrows! The old man happily drove off, smiling, while everyone laughed at the mix-up.

2. At dawn, when most stations were empty, an old man with a fishing rod walked into Phillips 66 and asked for directions to the nearest lake. The attendant smiled and pointed towards the signboard, but the old man shook his head: ‘No, not that one,’ he said softly, casting his line just inside the station’s entrance. The next thing anyone knew, there was a big fish jumping around in the gas pump! A delivery driver offered to help catch it while a neighbor laughed so hard he almost spilled his coffee. By noon, everyone agreed: Phillips 66 had become the strangest—and best—gas station ever.

3. At dusk, while filling up at Phillips 66, a regular noticed something odd on the gas pump sign: ‘Today’s special—one gallon of gas makes your car talk!’ Curious, he filled his tank and drove off. On the way home, his car started humming and whistling like never before. Confused but amused, he pulled over and asked his wife, who laughed and said, 'Honey, that’s just our old Ford talking.'

4. At sunset, while filling up at Phillips 66, a little boy pointed excitedly at the reflection in the gas station’s window. His mother looked over and saw nothing but her own smiling face, until she heard the boy whisper, ‘Mom, look! The dinosaurs are coming out!’ As they both turned around, there was an old delivery driver adjusting his hat, grinning sheepishly and saying, 'Guess I’ll be heading home early tonight!' Mom laughed and shook her head, refueling with a smile as the sun dipped below the horizon, leaving only the neon sign glowing softly—‘Dinosaurs welcome!’
