Valero gas station college station tx8/13/2023 ![]() ![]() Ten skimmers had been active for 546 days and another five for 234 days, according to police data. ![]() Police recovered 27 credit card skimmers over 16 visits between June 2018 and May 2021 at this Valero gas station in southeast Houston. Top 10 locations with the most skimmers found ![]() Still, 264 devices remained hidden for over a week, and skimmers found by police had been running nearly two and a half months on average. Police data reveals about half of the skimmers were found within a day of being installed. Smaller, individually-owned stations with fewer customers made easier targets than larger corporate-owned locations, Osina said. The vast majority of devices – 475 in total – were found at gas stations, but not all are equally vulnerable. “The only time they worry about getting noticed is when they’re placing (skimmers) into the pumps.” “The technology these guys have come up with is amazing,” he said. Though ATMs are still susceptible, most skimmers are now wired inside gas pumps, making it impossible to detect them from the outside, Osina said. Skimmer designs have transformed from the bulky, visible devices glued to the front of bank ATMs and gas pumps.

I’ve had mine last 3-4 hours, in Texas, with relatively low meltage.At one location, a gas station in southeast Houston, officers have removed 27 skimmers since 2018. ![]() The cups they use are very nice styrofoam cups that keep the ICEE from melting as fast, which is nice (much like Sam’s). Instead, its their regular branded fountain drink cups with ICEE-type lids and the traditional ICEE red straws. None of the Corner Stores use the traditional ICEE cups, as you might expect from their sizes. They do tend to pour a bit fast and are a little more liquid than I prefer, but they freeze up decently and taste good. The Corner Store machines seem to be decently tuned and I believe the one at store 560 was replaced relatively recently (I’ve been there several times over the year and they had changed things up last time I went, and the machine looked newer). Both stores I visited had some seasonal flavors though, so I’m guessing they do change at least those. The one on 29th used to, but I think that was actually a different ownership of the store. I’m still trying to work out if they change out flavors regularly. I’ll update this listing when I can get over there to check it out. I presume 540 has the same type machine based on its size and location. Pepper.ĥ60, the store on 29th, has a three flavor machine, loaded with Coke, Big Red, and Pina Colada, and Lite Mango. As such, it has TWO four flavor machines, giving you EIGHT flavors to choose from!!! I seriously squee’d when I saw it □ When I went, the flavors available were: Coke, Cherry Limeade, Pina Colada, Blue Raspberry, Big Red, Lite Mango, Strawberry Lemonade, and Dr. My personal favorite is the one on Rock Prairie, which is a huge store. FlavorsĮach Corner Store has its own machine configuration and flavor set. They often run some in the summer, including some refill specials and temporary price drops. Also check the Corner Store promotion page to see what kind of specials they have. Generally it saves about 30 cents or so, except on the small where a refill is the same price as new. I think you can also get an ICEE in their X cup (which is 60 ozs) for $1.69, since they use the same cups and prices for drinks and ICEEs.Ĭorner store also allows refills, so bring back your cup and you can refill for a discount based on the size. # 560, 4609 E 29th St, Bryan ( map) Sizes & CostsĬorner Store offers three sizes of ICEE, and they are same sizes as their fountain drinks meaning be ready to get happy because holy crap can you get a huge ICEE for cheap!!! “Small” (24 oz, normally a medium) # 540, 901 N Earl Rudder Fwy, Bryan ( map) # 1906, 2160 Rock Prairie Rd, College Station ( map) – my favorite! Alas, doesn’t list flavors, but that’s a good start. This is probably the best probably replacement for Rattlers for BCS ICEE fans, especially the newest store!īTW, their site is great because their store locator actually has filters for things like has ICEE and you can easily see which of their stores have them and which don’t. Different stores also offer various fresh food, as well as the stuff you usually expect to find at such a store, and they all have attached gas stations (Valero brand). We have four Corner Store locations in Bryan-College Station, with three offering up ICEEs. Corner Store is a convenience store chain found in the mid-western areas of the US, particularly Texas which I believe is where it started. ![]()
