Here it's unusual to see the name of a gas station. On the receipt,
you would see the legal name of the owner, such as "Aico Uno s.r.l."
(s.r.l. is the Italian equivalente of LLC, more or less). On gas
stations, though, you would only see the name of the brand, and only
rarely a (smaller) sign with a proper name of the station itself.
