    Heck, we don't even have Stop N Go stores any more around my town. They're all Stop N Shop or Step N Go or some other r****d name...

    We used to have Little Chief stores too, but I guess that name was offensive or something...

    forget slurpees, I want a damn Slush Puppie!

    Geez. It took a year and I assume hundreds (maybe thousands)of hours of manpower to come up with the slurpee texture using artificial sweetners. I didn't know it would be that complicated. I thought a slurpee was just frozen drink that is blended finely.

    "You tell 'em, Utotem!"

    I used to ride my bike to one by Gulfgate and get a grape soda. I can't remember what the stuff was called right now, but it was gooood!

    I haven't met any miserable people yet. It's so much cleaner, friendlier, and more modern here than Houston.

    7-11s got bought out by Stop and Go, which then got bought out by Diamond Shamrock.

    Diamond Shamrock still has some of their stores with Stop & Go on them, but they are redoing them to be purely Diamond Shamrocks.

    It's s shame, I loved 7-11s.
    Same deal with Taco Bueno, we used to have them around here and their food rocked! Taco Hell killed them tho..:(

    The 7-11 Corporation (which was called The Southland Corporation until recently) went into bankruptcy in the 1980s and shut a bunch of stores all over the place. The company still exists, but they've not returned to a lot of places they left during the lean years. I believe a Japanese company owns the whole shebang.

    Back in Amarillo, we had Toot N' Totum (actually, they still have them there).

    So, that would mean that Stop & Go didnt buy 7-11 out, they just bought their physical locations that they were going to shut down anyway?

    makes sense, I assumed they had bought out 7-11 because one week they were 7-11, then the next time you looked, they were Stop & Go.
