There used to be an intersection in San Mateo - 4th and Delaware - which
had
two Unocal stations catty-corner from each other, with an Arco station on
one of the other corners.  One of the Unocals turned into an independent
station.  I had assumed it was so that people who wanted to buy Unocal gas
could do it conveniently whether they were going North or South.
