STRIPES is thrilled to announce the Grand Opening of our new store located at 6346 Yorktown/Cimarron Rd. in Corpus Christi.  A Grand Opening celebration and ribbon cutting ceremony took place on Thursday, July 5, 2007 at 2:30 p.m. in honor of all our customers who will benefit from this convenient location. On hand for the event were community, area representatives of STRIPES, and also a special appearance by all the STRIPES Mascots from the recent TV ads, like the dynamic STRIPES Cup. Hot Deals were offered to highlight some of the popular summer products like Slush Monkey frozen drinks and Delicious Laredo Taco Company food. In addition to this Stripes celebration, The Beach 96.5 KLTG-FM joined forces to offer our customers a special promotion. They hosted several radio remotes throughout the week at this location for the opportunity to register and win a trip to Minneapolis to see Nickelback and Daughtry in concert! The prize package includes: round trip fare, concert tickets and the chance to meet both bands.

In celebration of the Grand Opening on Thursday, FREE food sampling from the Laredo Taco Company was served. There was also an opportunity to register for a Dr. Pepper bicycle and prepaid Azteca phone giveaway and FREE sampling of other popular products like Coca-Cola, Frito Lay, Borden and many more. FREE Gas Giveaways were also offered to four lucky customers. There was a lot of fun entertainment as customers and employees took the chance to meet, greet, and take a photo with your favorite STRIPES Mascots characters and Izzy the Islander Mascot. Furthermore, the fun continues until July 15 as more delicious promotions will go on being part of the Grand Opening celebration. We are looking forward to showing residents of Corpus Christi the many convenient and delicious services heading their way.

The new STRIPES convenience store and gas station is a great place to stop in for a quick bite to eat or drink, or to top off your tank. Fresh, hot homemade tacos are readily available from the Laredo Taco Company counter, and while you’re at it, you can grab a steaming hot cup of your favorite Café de la Casa coffee or refreshing cold drink.  STRIPES is proud to be a part of the neighborhood and invites you to please stop in for a visit with their friendly, helpful staff.
