Exxon, 2842 Charleston Highway: 1970s 1 comment
Posted at 12:14 am in Uncategorized
This old service station, now a tire & brake center, is on the Charleston Highway, in that little corner in between I-77 and I-26.
I'm pretty sure it was an Exxon at one time (and may even have gone back into the Esso era). The vending machine bay to the left of the station is very typical of the old days -- a station generally would not like you hanging around inside, which was as much or more "the office" than a retail area.
I'm just guessing "1970s" as a closing date. It could have been much later, but that's when the classic "gas station" started to go into decline..

I really think this station was open into the mid-late 80's, though not sure it was still an Exxon station. I started driving in the mid 80's and seem to remember stopping here for gas.
