The Shell Service Station Located On Bolingbrook Drive (Illinois Route 53) And Northeast Frontage Road In Bolingbrook, Illinois. The Station Is Still A Shell To This Day! Although There Is A Circle K Convenience Store Now, Instead Of The 3 Service Bays. The Circle K Has Been Around Since 2007. Unfortunately The Ranch Roofing Is Now Covered By A Modern Box-Shaped Front End With The Red And Orange Circle K Logo. The Ranch Roofing Can Still Be Seen In The Back Of The Station Though! The Tall Sign Was Already Missing It's 2 "L"'s On This Side, And The, "S" And "H" On The Other Side, When This Photo Was Taken In 1971. The Block Letters On The Tall Sign Were Later Removed, And Replaced With A More Modern Square-Shaped Shell Logo Which Still Survives To This Day, Although, With A Newer, More Modern Logo.

The Bolingbrook Commons, Along With The Denny's, And The Business Next To That, Was Being Built When This Photo Was Taken.
