Gas Station/Convienence Store CF's?

[JW]

The first time I saw Taras was in a gas station on Highway 6 in Waco. They've been replaced, and the fans that replaced them have also been replaced (one of which has an inverted housing). They may have taken THOSE fans down.

I saw this awesome Patton at a Dollar Store once (still there):


I saw a Hunter Low Pro at a Gas Station once, just like this:

Here's what some gas stations had that I can remember:

-Some gas station in Delaware had some Red Quorum Classics, 52" size.
-A Flying J in Indianapolis, IN had a PB Craftmade Presidential II in the restaurant.
-Another Flying J in Memphis, TN had some AB GEV fans and a PB Wal-Mart replacement in the store part of it.
-A Royal Farms in my area had two Brushed Steel Modern Fan Company Cirruses in the convenience store area, but they were removed and replaced by lights recently in a remodel.
-A gas station in what I believe to be Easton, MD had a single White/PB Heritage GEV over the cashier.
-A gas in North Carolina had a bunch of Black Craftmade CXL's.
-I remember a Sheetz station somewhere had a bunch of GEV's.
-A gas station/convenience store had a few Brown Fasco Heat Cyclers in the one area, an early HB Littleton without light kit over the cashier, a messed-up Brown/PB 36" Encon Spinner over the deli, and some AB Palm Air Spinners in the liquor store area.

The Speedway stations in my neck of the woods had 2 AB early NuTone decorators, They were removed circa 2000. I think another one had Veranah IIs if my mind serves me correctly.

The Sheetz I frequent has 2 white 52" 90s Emerson Designers (constructed in 1997)

On my recent trip to NC, I stopped at a Kangaroo Station that had 3 white 52" Fasco Charlestons one was 5B and the other 2 were 2nd and 3rd gen. 4Bs. In addition to the aforementioned Charlestons, there was a white 52" Craftmade Decorative.

On the PA turnpike, one Bob's Big Boy has AB Casablanca Delta IIs with 4L kits, they were set to low.

Another Bob's Big Boy on the PA turnpike had AB Beverly hills beveled glass lighted housing fans (the ones with the arched end blades). In the same facility, there was a Burger King that had 3 PB Hunter Originals which ran on medium. I believe the Originals were from the late 80s.

Let's see...I did see some blue 36" Laskos in one of the PA turnpike facilities.

One local gas station has 2 Dayton industrials (flowerpot canopies) over the cashier.

On my way to Columbus, OH, I stopped at a Sheetz in Cambridge, OH which had at least 4 Canarm industrials.

In my childhood, I have noticed a few Palm-Air top-mounts in service station offices.

John, where are the fans mounted in Sheetz? I'd like to see a pic of them. I would like to see pics of the Daytons as well.

[John "Rockin" Reed]

They are mounted on 4" downrods (The Emersons, mind you) on a rather high ceiling in the entry way.

[fancollector12]

That's exactly how the ones at the Sheetz I remember were mounted.

The only CFs I seen in convienence stores are AB spinners in a store in Crescent Springs, Ky and a 42 inch Kmart fan with the tiny housing in a gas station somewhere in Tennessee.

One Circle K gas station near me used to have four bladed GE vent fans of some kind in antique brass. Removed years ago.

Another gas station we would go to when I was a kid had a 36" Hunter Original in brown over the right side of the store where shelves of bread and things were located. No idea if it's still there.

One other station here has five bladed builder vent fans in white probably early 2000s era. I haven't been there in a while, but probably still has them.

Oh, and finally, a BP station here used to have some four bladed GE vent fans in AB as well. Those were removed and I don't know if it has any fans since then.
