    Cause because.

    You said it yourself, they're not truck friendly.
    They're busy cornering the market on 24'oz sodas and 12 'oz bags of chips, what do they need guys dropping jugs full off piss, on their lot for?

    Those are among the few flagship stores they have around Texas. They have silly billboards up and down the highways in the vicinity of their stores. Have not seen one yet that allowed trucks other than those delivering fuel. They are a nice place to stop at if traveling by car. A lot of good food items and drinks. I regularly go by the one North of Houston in Madisonville that is pretty packed all day. Not surprised since there is not a whole lot to pick from in that area.

    The one on I-35 in New Braunfels is absolutely huge. The biggest one they have and what I can't understand is the size of the parking lot, never mind the huge number of pumps. And of course, they don't want big trucks on their lots which is fine with me. They obviously sell a massive amount of fuels. I used to service their station in Giddings which is very modest. They're certainly growing fast.

    Been to the one in New Braunsfels, Madisonville, and on 45 across from the Loves near Gonzalez. Never seen them even 10% full. Guess they get a lot of RV traffic during vacation season. They are clean. Can see why they wouldn't want a bunch of nasty , lazy drivers trashing the joint like most truck stops.

    I've stopped at the one in Luling when every gas pump was full (before they added the new ones) and the store was packed. We were on our way to the state HS football finals in San Antonio and I'm pretty sure everyone from Katy left for the day and was on the away to San Antonio.

    Anyway, there stores are very nice and they have some good snack food. I've never ate a Beaver Nugget so I don't know what one would taste like!
     
    RockinChair Thanks this.
