NEXT GENERATION

The new Stripes Store features Laredo Taco Company restaurant, Sunoco Fuel – the official Fuel of NASCAR and features 23 Sunoco branded fuel dispensers which include unleaded, super unleaded and diesel with truck stop.

Inside, the store offers a dining area that seats 28 inside and an outdoor patio with seating for 20 more diners, “the beer super cooler”– a designated cooler for beer/adult beverages set to cool below 32 Degrees Fahrenheit, “pour your own” – a creative space for customers to customize their cool with more than 1.2 billion possible fountain combinations, as well as almost 7,000 square feet of customer conveniences.
