Jet (styled JET) is a European brand of filling stations, which is owned by American-based conglomerate Phillips 66. Jet filling stations are located in Austria, Germany and the United Kingdom. The brand previously had a presence in other European countries and Thailand.
History
Bill Roberts first used the brand name “Jet” for his future petrol station company in 1953 in Rotherham in the English county of Yorkshire.[1] The name came from the row of letters on the number plate of his first tanker: JET 855. Robert's first petrol station was a small station on private property and was inexpensive to operate because no service other than refuelling was offered.
Jet Petroleum was formed in 1954 by Bill Roberts. Conoco acquired Jet in 1961.[2]
