J P Truck Stop

I’m not really the truck stop type and by no means is this one of those trucker’s comfort stations that resembles a carnival or even slightly festive in any sense of the word like so many scattered across the country, but when the fuel gauge pegged left on this stretch of I-​10 between Beaumont and Houston around mid-​night it was a welcoming sight. There are plenty of gas pumps under the well lit canopy and the prices were very competitive. The inside is filled with just about any kind of novelty from refrigerator magnets to the latest trucker’s apparel, its apparent that they cater to a broad cross section of the populist but the focus is definitely on the trucking industry. They now sell Gulf Petroleum Products «Life…one mile at a time».

This was a very odd place to stop for fuel. It is a truck stop/​convenience store, but it sells some very unique items.
As far as gas goes, this location has a large amount of pumps. The store portion listed a Pizza Hut, Subway and Wing something or other. I cannot attest to the food providers, but the store was quite interesting.
In the store were cowboy hats, imitation piston cartridge belts (think old west), blankets, signs warning of drunks and other weird items. The inside of the store is very large and their selection of drinks and snacks was a bit overwhelming.
The bathrooms were just OK. While modern and nicely laid out, they weren’t the cleanest.
Service was adequate, but not overly friendly.
I wouldn’t go out of my way to stop here, however; it is an acceptable place to stop on the way back from Houston.
