This is my favorite neighborhood convenience store. It is close to my house and they sell Dublin…read moreDr. Pepper (cane sugar, folks-no HFCS!), an okay selection of wine, and some really bizarre novelty lollipop with a toy toilet bowl in filled with flavored sugar dust. I think you are supposed to stick the lollipop in the toilet bowl to get the sugar then suck on it. I don't know why a kid would want that, but sitting next to the incense, knock-off cologne, and ornate Zippo's, it is just the sort of peculiar merchandising strategy that intrigues me. They recently installed pay-at-the-pumps which means I probably won't be going inside as often. Which is a shame because the owners/clerks are very nice and friendly. They are also very cooperative with our neighborhood association in dealing with the aggressive vagrants in the area. Unlike the neighboring Shell station, the Texan doesn't provide the vagrants a safe harbor from the police, won't sell alcohol to intoxicated persons, and if they notice one of the panhandlers harassing people, they will intervene or call the police. They also try hard to keep their lot clean and free of trash. So in short, when I need to make a quick stop, I choose the Texan. Clean, friendly, safe, and cheap!

Gas is usually cheaper than the station next door. Parking can be an issue during peak times (7-8 am) when the taco stand next door is busy. Do pay attention to expiration dates on dairy products, though. I've seen expired milk there before.

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.

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 got to be a drag--especially at Miller Time when the traffic is a killer. A coupla years ago, this little gem of a convenience store started carrying a few solid bottles of red and moved on to what is a now an excellent, relatively large selection. They're particularly strong on Spanish reds with some excellent California selections. Cheap and delicious Cristalino is always chilled for those brutal Austin summer days. On average $2-4 cheaper per bottle than Whole Foods and they give case discounts. Talk to the manager if you're looking for something you don't see and he'll order it.

Smacked down on wonderful Sixth Street Shop 24 is a staple of the street, without it, doors would closed, people would die, the World would quite possibly end. As the previous reviewer mentioned this store really does have everything you could ever need. Besides being a DJ down on Sixth I also install sounds systems in the clubs and on more than a hundred occasions I have needed some emergency item and no matter how weird it was I always seem to find it there. Obviously the prices are a little higher, but hey your paying for the convenience!! The people who work there are very cool, the selection is amazing, they never close and it's pretty much the best place on Earth. ONLY problem is the bums, vagrants, drug addicts, idiots and beggars who like to hang out in the entryway at night. They are annoying, harassing and it's still against the law to shoot them or at least tie them up and recycle them. It's not the stores fault, it's the city's fault, well AND it's the fault of all those idiots who give them change, cigarettes, or even make eye contact with them. It just perpetuates the cycle.

I used to stop in every morning for coffee and a package of almond windmill cookies. They have everything you'd expect from a convenience store, and a whole lot more. I'm so sad that they no longer sell fried chicken, nor do they have tables any more. I think the homeless messed that up for us. But a big cup of Folgers coffee is still just $1 (keep your burned, bitter Starbucks crap!) and you can buy a straw hat, rawhide whip, shot glass and personalized license plate key chain all in the same place. Need a pair of board shorts, a Hawaiian shirt, sandals and socks? Got it. Can't find a scorpion in a glass ball? Look no further. Need a single battery? There's a bucket of batteries for a quarter each. Longhorns paraphernalia? Of course. They might sometimes seem a bit short with you, but it's a cultural thing. These guys are awesome and really care about you. It's the ONLY store I will shop at when downtown.
