TXB is transforming its convenience stores in Central Texas. TXB, or Texas Born, has built seven stores (with two opening soon) and upgraded five stores with a modern look and feel, the c-store chain said.

Its new locations have electric vehicle (EV) chargers as TXB CEO Kevin Smartt is passionate about growing EVs in Texas, the Spicewood, Texas-based company said. New locations also have a variety of fresh-made food items, including hand-breaded jumbo chicken tenders and handmade quesadillas that are made-to-order from hand-pressed tortillas.

“It’s been an incredible honor to see TXB growing so rapidly in Central Texas,” Smartt said. “This rebrand is more than just a different logo or name; this is a true reflection of who we are as a company. We’ve become famous for our freshly made, restaurant-quality food items that we prepare on site, as well as our line of private-label products including salsa, jerky, tea, water, coffee and more. We want our guests to have the absolute best experience every time they visit one of our locations.”
