Charlie's Sterling Service was on the southeast corner of 14th and Merchant Streets at 1398 Merchant Street.
In the 1960s, Sala's Quaker State Service operated at that location. [update July 28, 2014: Sala's Quaker State was owned by Irvin "Buss" Sala who operated the station until 1982 when he retired.]

Later, the building was briefly home to a bakery called The Bread Basket, followed by Mac's Donuts which was there for many years, closing in late 2009 or early 2010. The most recent business there was the Apple Lane Cafe, which opened about a year after Mac's closed and closed in mid-2013.
Currently, it does not appear as though the building is being used as a business.
