Star Food Mart is the 24-hour gas station and convenience store on Palmer Highway where refinery shift workers, Galveston commuters and weekend road-trippers fill up, grab a hot bite and keep moving. No frills, no waiting — just clean fuel, fair prices and a hot pot of coffee that never stops.
Every service below is priced in plain USD and posted at the door — no surprises at the register. Prices shift with the market, but the list of what we do never does.
Three octanes of detergent-treated unleaded plus clean #2 diesel at the high-flow pumps. Every drop carries the Top-Tier™ additive package that keeps injectors clean on long Gulf-coast hauls.
Rolled fresh through the day and held in the warmer so a hot bite is ready the second you walk in. Breakfast taquitos go on at 4 a.m. for the early refinery shift.
Three pots brewing around the clock — regular, dark roast and a Texas-pecan flavored option. Creamer, sweetener and cups sized from a quick 12 oz up to a 64 oz road warrior.
Twenty-pound bags of cracked ice ready for the cooler, plus a walk-in cold vault stocked with sodas, sports drinks, energy drinks and gallon jugs of water for the boat.
Bring your empty 20-lb BBQ tank and walk out with a clean, inspected and filled replacement in under two minutes. No appointment, no waiting on the hardware store.
On-site ATM with reasonable fees, full Texas Lottery draw games and scratch-offs, plus money orders for rent and bills — cash available any hour of the night.
Star Food Mart opened its doors on Palmer Highway to serve the people who keep the Gulf Coast running — the refinery operators coming off a 12-hour turn, the shrimpers heading to the dock before sunrise, and the families driving down I-45 to Galveston for the weekend.
We are independently owned and Texas-born, not a chain outpost. That means we stock the brands locals actually ask for — Big Red, Dr Pepper made with real cane sugar, H-E-B taquitos, and brisket jerky from a smokehouse over in La Marque — and we keep the coffee fresh because the owner drinks it himself.
Every shift, every day of the year, somebody is here to make sure the pumps are flowing, the restrooms are clean, and the warmer is full. That is the whole promise.
The cold vault stays stocked six days a week — and twice on Friday before the weekend rush.
A walk through the aisles — snacks, cold drinks, hot food and the small essentials that get you back on the road without a detour.
Star Food Mart sits on Palmer Highway in Texas City, minutes from the I-45 corridor and the Port of Texas City. Whether you are commuting to Houston, heading down to Galveston, or working a shift at the refineries, we are the easy on-the-way stop.
