Phillips 66 franchise in Missouri: what the public record shows

Franchisees of Phillips 66 in Missouri have taken 5 SBA loans since 1991 (average $528,060)— too few resolved loans in-state to publish a local failure rate (we require a resolved cohort, never extrapolate), so the brand's national rate of 9.6% is the better guide.

Every business in Phillips 66's industry operating in Missouri — franchised and independent — from the Census Bureau's County Business Patterns (2023), against 2024 population estimates. Counter-intuitively, density is not a warning: across 198 brand-state cells in our loan data, the densest quartile charges off at 5.6% versus 18.1% in the thinnest. A crowded market is usually proven demand; an empty one is often empty for a reason.
