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.

YESCO was in a recent spotlight by Defender Safety Helmets after adopting their new type II helmets: 

“YESCO , a 104-year-old company founded in 1920 by Thomas Young, continues to uphold its legacy of innovation and safety by adopting the Defender Safety H2 Type 2 Safety Helmet.

Isaac Gallegos, Safety Director at YESCO, has been instrumental in recommending the adoption of the new helmets: ‘We’ve received positive feedback from our employees about the helmets,’ said Gallegos. ‘They not only find them more comfortable but also feel that they significantly enhance overall compliance and safety.’

The Defender Safety H2 Type 2 Safety Helmet offers superior protection by guarding against both top and side impacts. This is a major step up from traditional Type 1 helmets, which only provide top impact protection. With the addition of chin straps, the H2 helmets also ensure the helmets stay securely in place during high-risk activities”. 

We’re proud to lead the industry in safety and innovation and will continue to prioritize the well-being of our employees and pave the way for future advancements.
