Customers turned away from Millwood Esso

Many motorists were inconvenienced tonight when Toronto Autowash, the Esso service station at 1070 Millwood Road, stopped all vehicles from entering because there was a commercial being shot on the premises. Those who had been at the station as recently as a week ago said there were no warnings that the station would be closed on Thursday night. One woman who was turned away at 6 p.m. said she was nearly out of gas and felt fortunate that she was able to make it to the Petro Canada station at Moore and Bayview. A further note, staff said Friday they were surprised that no one had put a sign up to say they would be closing. This is perhaps because they thougjt they might be able to keep one or two pumps open. But they did not reckon with the armies of trucks invovled in the making of a commercial. In this case, a commercial for Honda.
