About Us

M.E. (“Bus”) Whitehead knew that in business, it’s crucial to embrace change to continue to thrive. When Bus founded Whitehead Oil Company in 1959 after purchasing the Phillips 66 Direct Operation in Lincoln, he set a goal on keeping up with the city as it reached milestone after milestone. Looking back, Whitehead Oil Company could not have predicted the sheer amount of neighborly support it received over the decades!

60 years later, the evolution of Whitehead Oil now includes 40 U-Stop locations in Lincoln, SE Nebraska and now Kansas, bringing TOP TIER^® fuel and lubricants through the continued partnership with Phillips 66. Whitehead Oil has been a part of the community for 60 years, and U-Stop is carrying on that legacy today.

U-Stop has fueled the future through an ongoing commitment to giving back to the communities that gave us so much. Hitting this milestone of 60 years would not be possible without the continued support of our communities. For that, thank you, Lincoln.
