LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF) – Jack’s Esso Service Center was located on the corner of North Tennessee Avenue (Hwy 25W) and Mill Street.

Today it’s part of the city parking lot. The service center was owned and operated by Jack Paul and sat on this corner for several years.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, this property, along with many businesses on North Tennessee Avenue and North Indiana Avenue were destroyed durning the Lafollette Urban Renewal project. This business and three others beside it were torn down to make a city parking lot. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED – 05/18/2023-6AM)
