Great to see a Texas born quality convenience store getting traction. I've been jealous for years with the Kwik Trips in Yankee territory and even the QTs in northern Texas.

I couldn't understand why a metro the size of BCS was left with nasty Exxons, Valeros, Shells and the like.

Had a chance to visit the new TXB on WJB the day before it opened and the brass was kind enough to spoil us with some treats. The one on University is nice as well. Seems they really are trying to fill the void of folks who will be loyal to some quality fajita/tacos and soft drinks. Really good if you hit the timing right.

Speaking of which, I signed up for the Chug Club $10/month soda thing and it works out pretty good. It used to be "unlimited" (every hour) until supposedly the hospital crews next door were snatching up several drinks/coffees, etc. each day. Regardless, they sell "any size" fountain drinks including the 44oz for $0.99 which is a nice touch of the days before inflation took over.

Gimmicky sales and coupons have had some pleasant surprises, including points for gas discounts. I'm getting my diesel there and hope it is top tier.

Anywho...despite being outa Austin, glad to see them step up! Supposedly there's a new one coming in at Southern Pointeeeeeee next spring.

txb is good stuff.

7-11 all over town has gone to the crapper as soon as stripes sold.

would love a QT, though. anywhere in the county would be fine.

I don't know man. The Taco bar at Stripes always has a line. Usually full of folks who grew up eating tacos......

The entrance of Southern Point (ie the old Texas World Speedway, or the Mesa Verde exit)

I got 50 cents off a gallon on my tank of gas yesterday. Considering I have to buy premium, it is fantastic. I love their coconut tea. It's a great store.

They used to have a scratch off game on their app that you could scratch everyday and get a different free item.

I will say their food is pretty dang decent. Have a had their quesadillas and few times

I had to unsubscribe from their rewards program. I'd get duplicate emails almost every day along with duplicate messages in the app about playing their monopoly game or some BS.

I do like the store though and will go a little out of my way to use them. The only other "nicer" convenience store I've ever frequented in CS was the Max food mart in Wellborn near Victoria.
