“I walked in with my 2 month old. I Was greeted as I walked in. I purchased some items and then the cashier was very friendly. He asked how my day was going and I happen to share with him my husband was right at the pump fixing a flat. The employee, Mr. Daniel, immediately recommended a product that would help us fix our tire to get us to Houston. Daniel was so helpful. A few minutes later he even walked out to see how were were doing. As a customer new in town that didn’t recognize anything in town but the Stripes Gad station we have back at home- Katy Tx. It’s scary to have a flat tire at night and it’s even more scary to be in a strange town; running into friendly people like Daniel was a blessing. thank you for you generosity and help sir”

“I do not buy tacos at gas stations, HOWEVER!!! We were headed on a long road trip out West and stopped for gas. My wife walked in to use the bathrooms and came out with a bag of what I thought was one taco. Once we got back on the road she reached in the bag and handed me a taco. I was a frustrated because she knows I don’t eat gas station food. HOWEVER, the taco was GREAT. Large soft taco wrapping delicious eggs with chorizo and beans with perfect level of mild side. My wife said that Shane was so helpful and nice to her and served her quickly. We will be stopping by the Llano Stripes on our way back home!!!!!”
