I could be wrong, but I think Gordon worked there as a teenager and after high
school he kept working there and getting more and more responsibility until he
was eventually given the opportunity to buy the place - the Pattersons gave him
a loan to accomplish this.
I believe the car dealership was an addition to his business later on.
Anthony was hired as his accountant.

Honestly...go to a gas station in any major U.S. and Canadian city -
where you got "car dealership" is beyond me - and tell me who works
there. Long hours, bad pay - come on now.
Anthony...Gordon. Sorry I botched the names of fictional characters.
Whichever one had the lousy `70s pornstache. It was awful.
