A containment box and anchor frame assembly is provided for anchoring a containment box at a gasoline service station to either a concrete island, or to the paved driveway of a gasoline service station. The anchor frame is fastened to the upper opening of the containment box and includes a plurality of outwardly extending anchoring brackets for securing the anchor frame to the surrounding concrete. The anchor frame helps to keep the containment box from being damaged if a product dispenser is hit by a vehicle. The assembly also includes a dispenser frame for mounting a product dispenser to the anchor frame. The anchor frame is of a universal design such that a particular size of containment box and anchor frame assembly can receive a number of different sizes of dispenser frames so that different sizes of dispensers can all be mounted to the same containment box and anchor frame assembly. This avoids the need for maintaining a high inventory of different containment box and anchor frame assemblies, each sized for receiving different fuel dispensers. It also permits the simple modification of a particular service station facility to accommodate a different style of dispenser without the need for extensive and expensive modifications to an existing containment box.
