This truck stop at 9115 North Interstate 35 has been here since the 1970s, and as of 1983 was a Fina, and during most of its life had a truck stop restaurant inside. In 1990, the truck stop was a self-branded Texas Star (having been branded as such since around the time the Fina picture was taken).
By 2007, Texas Star was still the store, but the gas brand was a Shell, and featured just a Subway inside as far as the restaurant went. Texas Star was purchased by Circle K's parent company in October 2015 and by the next year, the deal had closed and the Circle K name was on the building, ending the 25+ year era of Texas Star. In the following years, the gas station made changes—by March 2021, a new electronic sign was added that also showed the diesel price, and by May of 2022, the Shell branding went away (as well as the Subway inside). It is a rare "Truck Diesel" Circle K gas station, featuring a green bar under the orange part of the Circle K logo. In another time this would've been a Circle K Truxtop. It has a Krispy Krunchy inside as of 2025 (replacing Subway, likely).
There are no longer any outbuildings on the property as seen above, there are a few covered areas for taco trucks and about where the house(?) was there's now "Essential Calibration & Alignment" at 35931 Ronald Reagan Boulevard.
