Texan Market #7

Great service. Would choose Texan Market over 7 – 11 or other convenient store any day.

It’s kinda hard to get excited about a gas station but, if there is one that you can feel that way about, it’s most definitely this one.
Even though I have two little mini-​marts across the street from my place, I will go the couple of miles for this one. They’re always jamming some variety of tunes, they’ve got a pretty good spread as far as convenience stores go, and the staff is typically very friendly.

This place is great, the owner is the nicest and always finds a way to make you smile (usually telling you he loves you) prices are fair and they run an honest business (not like the ghetto stop off southridge) Unilocal says they are open until noon, really it’s midnight

Me: «just this tea and a pack of smokes, please.» (while crying)
Cashier: «that’ll be $ 7.xx. Debit or credit?»
Me: «whatever. I don’t give a shit anymore.» (Still crying)
Cashier: «want your receipt?»
Me: «no thanks.»
Cashier: «I love you.»
Me: «I love you too.» (Smiling and crying)

The day clerk is quick with a joke to tell. Drum roll please!

The old man that works behind the counter was soo rude. I will never shop there again. I asked for a simple plastic bag, he told me to go dig one out of the trash dumpster… I thought he was kidding, and he told he was NOT… I was appalled

I stopped by here late one night to get some gas for my car. I attempted to pump but I realized that the pumps were off… I went to Shell down the way and got gas. A few days later I checked my bank account and I was charged $ 20 for gas I never got. I hate this place now. I am never coming back.

I always feel like I’ve walked in on a failed AA meeting when I’m in line to buy stuff at night at the Texan Market — tweakers, drunks, ‘lottery people’ all seem to congregate here. Don’t get me wrong TM is clean and reasonably priced. Ozarka water, chips and beer are cheap. And they have the amazing «Busted! Austin» magazine at the check out. Oh, and good gasoline prices, too. The staff is usually friendly.
It’s the polar opposite of Live Oak Market a couple of blocks away (the ‘Dean & Deluca’ of the ‘hood — an interesting place but with paninis and craft beers at high prices). At the Texan Market — a.k.a. «Slacker Mart» — the fanciest slow food item is stale cheese popcorn. I like it.

I love this store for one very simple reason. I don’t carry pocket change and if I have cash it is generally in small bill form and the number one thing I go to convenience stores for are beverages. You can get a 44 oz fountain drink for a dollar… not a $ 1.08 or $ 1.15… a flat dollar. I love that.
I know it sounds like a very dumb thing but it is super convenient for me, also they will let me use my debit card for a one dollar purchase as well, no stupid minimum purchase shenanigans.
Also they carry numerous types of bottled water that I like such as SmartWater and Austin based H2Orange. Factor in the constant supply of non-​HFCS sodas in the cooler and I am quite happy
Beer prices are competitive with the Randall’s nearby but that really isn’t hard to do and the selection may actually be better.
Combine all of this with friendly cashiers this place has become my local corner store even though it is not the closest one to my home.
Only negatives are that they do not have non-​HFCS sodas in the fountain machine and the parking lot can become a challenge.

This store is conveniently located on my way to work… there are so many of the more popular convenient stores on my way, but I choose to stop here because I can get in and out quickly. The staff is genuinely courteous and I am always greeted as I walk in and wished a good day as I leave.

This is not the closest convenience store to me, but it is the one i prefer. I think that speaks volumes. there is one within two blocks of me and i prefer Texan Market which is like a half mile in the opposite direction. I really like soda with real sugar and they are always stocked with it. They have a clean and well lit store. The staff is what really shine here. They are super friendly and make it feel like a neighborhood place. They take pride in their store and don’t judge people who come in. When money is tight tho i totally get their fountain drinks, 1 dollar gets you practically a bucket of pop. Sugar Frenzy Time!!!

I can’t say I’ve ever reviewed a gas station/​convenience store, but this one is worth reviewing. I don’t even live on this side of town, but when I find myself south of the river and in need of a soda or snack, I go here. The employees are always friendly with genuine smiles. I actually believe they care that I shop there when they say «Thank you for stopping by! Have a nice day!»

I don’t stop here very often, but needed some milk and I hate going to Randall’s, so this was my best option. I walked in and was greeted with a genuine hello. The store seemed clean and organized. Not all crowded like some convenient stores. The prices are pretty much the same as any other convenient store. It’s easy to get in and out and never seems to be crowded.
The coolest thing I liked about this place is at the cash register, underneath a piece of glass, they have a bunch of coins from different countries. I travel a lot and was able to identify the different countries they were from. The guy behind the counter talked to me a little bit about the coins and I was on my way.
I will remember this place in the future. All they need now is a redbox. :)

Employees are just about the nicest people you could meet. This is my go to place for malt liquor, chips, skittles. Of course everything has convenient store prices, but when you need a Mickey’s tall boy at a weird hour you go to Texan Market. Head over there at a later hour on the weekend and you are guaranteed to see all sorts of weird crap.

Conveniently located (at least for those of who live in the pizza-​slice-​shaped area of 78 704 bounded by South Lamar and the railroad tracks on either side and Ben White on the end), The Texan Market #7 is slightly better than most gas stations in most respects and HUGELY better than most gas stations in one respect: sweet pulled pork BBQ sandwiches. Those things are awesome, and dirt cheap. They’ll even cut you a deal if it’s later in the day and they’re trying to get rid of them. We’re talking like one dollar for the pork sandwich, chips and a drank. Pick up a 40 oz for dessert and you’re good to go.
