From Dallas to Jacksboro, it does not get any better than the 1 Stop Store in Runaway Bay on Lake Bridgeport. Located on the Southwest side of the lake off Hwy 380!
Everything thing I have tried there has been very good, their homemade bread is delicious. I had a grilled ham & cheese sandwich on their bread, great! They have alot of different types of food for everyone, and they are nice!

I went in there for the first time about a week ago and I was very impressed with that place. I spent dang near an hour in there. Small bags of ice were .69 cents and large bags were .99 cents.

I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

Buc-ees in Luling has 32 fuel pumps and is adding more right now. All vehicles and no semis allowed. Bakery, deli, jerkey, hunting items(feed to feeders to blinds), cold drinks and all the rest of the inside sales items. Inside sales area is the size of some grocery stores. Hard to beat their locations and inside sales. Was the largest convience store in America when they built it and now it has been added onto for the 4th time.
