About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Phillips 66, every morning began with the same routine: employees filling tanks, customers pumping gas. But one day, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom. ‘Attention, everyone,’ it said. ‘If you see a unicorn in the parking lot today, don’t panic—it’s just our new mascot.’ Soon enough, a sparkly white unicorn appeared, prancing around the pumps. Everyone stopped what they were doing—employees froze mid-pump, cars slowed down, and even a delivery driver dropped his clipboard. Then, amidst laughter and cheers, someone shouted, 'Hey, isn’t that our neighbor’s pet?' The unicorn turned out to be just another neighborhood horse wearing a glittery costume.

2. At Phillips 66, one day an employee noticed something peculiar on the gas pump handle—a tiny plastic dinosaur, no bigger than a thumbnail. Curiosity got the better of him, and he decided to keep it as a joke. Soon enough, other drivers started finding similar toys around the station: little bears, monkeys, even superheroes. Before long, Phillips 66 became known not just for fuel but also for its daily surprise toy giveaway. One day, a regular stopped by and asked if they could adopt the whole toy collection—claiming his grandkids would love them. The manager laughed and said, ‘Sure thing, but you’ll have to fill up your tank first.’ Everyone left happy that day: the man got his toys, and Phillips 66 gained another loyal customer.

3. At Phillips 66, a delivery driver always double-checks his load before leaving the truck. One afternoon, he spots something odd in the rearview mirror—his cargo seems to be dancing. Curious, he pulls over and peers inside. To his amazement, a small plastic dinosaur toy is bobbing up and down, seemingly enjoying its ride. He smiles, shakes his head, and gently places it back where it belongs. That night, he tells his wife, ‘I think that dinosaur was having more fun than I am today.’

4. At Phillips 66, night shifts were usually quiet until one moonlit evening when a delivery driver noticed something strange in the parking lot. Curious, he approached and saw an old man slowly filling his car with gas, humming an unfamiliar tune. Turns out, it was Mr. Jenkins from down the street, who’d forgotten his keys inside. The delivery driver chuckled as he unlocked the car for him, earning himself a hearty thank-you and a free cup of coffee from Mr. Jenkins’ thermos.
