One of 4 gas stations in Franklin off hwy 79 to get gas, snacks, drinks, etc. Cool old buildingread more

When passing through the small community of Thrall, you'll find two gas stations on either side of…read moreHighway 79. This Exxon sits on the westbound side and has 5 modern pump stations. It is mated up with a convenience store by the name of Duchess. The Valero at the other end of thrall on the other side of the road is a much larger modern convenience store with a car wash unlike here. However, this location has its own brand of charm despite being much smaller in size. Inside you'll find a couple of iced down beer troughs and plenty of drinks, even a fair amount of good craft beers such as electric jellyfish. They also sell wine from the Georgetown winery along with a unique pickle juice drink (pictured below). They even have some fishing supplies. While you are here, you can also rent some propane tanks or buy some firewood. Photos included for better insight.

We stop here every time we go from Houston to Dallas. I usually get the kolaches, but resisted…read moretoday. Today was a bathroom and coffee stop. They have a Starbucks on the premises and my husband got a coffee to go. I used the rest room. The bathroom is usually very clean, but think there was a bad smell in there yesterday. The cleaning crew was in there, so maybe they would have taken care of the smell too if I have been there a while Later. They have lots of the usual stop n go stuff for sale candy, fountain drinks and coffee. But what caught my eye were these cute animal booty/non skid slippers. They were so cute -wolf ones, bear ones and others including college team inspired ones. Wish I had had my camera with me when I saw them.

Travel stop with Shell gas, bakery, general merchandise. Clean restrooms and friendly service…read more Honestly I prefer these stops much more than the super travel centers. We gassed up, empty the bladder,grabbed some snacks and were back on the road without unnecessary distractions and temptations.

Traffic on Highway 6 towards Bryan is a red line and "delay!" I don't have enough gas to get me to…read morethe cheaper stations down there, so we're here for just two gallons of expensive stuff before I take the detour out and around the back up where I will fill up less expensively. Pump worked fine, receipt printer did not. The gas is a good 20 cents more expensive than it is in Hearne but we're paying for the convenience. I did not have a need to go inside to the store. They are now distributors for Texaco petroleum products, not Shell. [Review 840 of 2024 - 595 in Texas - 21870 overall]

I bought a sandwich and some water and got out of there. I will never return. In fairness to them, the place was surprisingly clean, well organized, seemed well managed. The staff seemed nice enough - just working hard to ring up all the people buying their tchotchkes.

In my opinion the only things nice about this place are the restrooms. That's it. Have had better…read morecoffee from bona fide Texas truck stops. The first time there was - interesting. But each time after that it was just sad. The grands lived up in NE Texas so of course we were required to stop for the kids if they were in the truck. The last sandwich I had was a soggy mess on what looked like bread but tasted like cotton balls. Those nuggets reminded me a lot like Crunch n Munch but with a horrible aftertaste even their weak "coffee" couldn't wash away. It's been years since we've been back so I don't know if it's still true but it seemed to me those times that the greater portion of their branded merchandise and other "Texas" souvenirs were made in China. On that strip of I45 North there are other stops with a much more genuine Texas atmosphere and food. Try them instead. (photo from 2015)

You will be greeted when you walk in. Expect friendly conversation from the staff here. They cook breakfast, lunch and dinner. They will also grill a burger and fries or onion rings for you. The gasoline may not be the cheapest in town but it is quality and i never worry about bad gasoline here. This is one of my favorite convenience/country stores.
