These outlets include company-owned and company-operated retail outlets, company-owned and dealer-operated retail outlets, and outlets owned and operated by independent dealers and wholesale marketers. The majority of these outlets are branded with the Phillips 66®, Conoco® or 76® trademarks and feature gaso¬lines that have been recognized as TOP TIER by leading automakers since 2004 (www.toptiergas.com). These operations are strategically served by the company’s refineries and transportation systems.
