Slim Olson’s
Pictured here is the original Slim Olson’s gas station in Bountiful, Utah.
Back in the 1950s, this station was recognized as the world’s largest service station, boasting an impressive 43 pumps. Drivers in sleek Ford street rods and Chevy Cabriolets would roll in to fuel up with two grades of Amoco gas: ethyl and regular.
Today, Slim Olson’s legacy continues with the third generation of family ownership. Brothers Doug and Keith Olson now run the station, which has undergone many changes over the decades—including switching to Chevron gas in 1994 and giving the iconic buildings a fresh coat of white and blue paint.
For more than 60 years, Slim Olson Service Stations have been a vital part of the community. Though the number of stations has slimmed down, the Bountiful location remains on the same historic property, fueling the community with the same dedication that started in 1938.
