Texaco is the petrol forecourt brand of Valero. They still maintain a presence on A-roads, but most of their sites on motorways have since been rebranded.
In the 1990s, Texaco partnered with Swayfields to develop a number of motorway service areas, including Baldock and Peterborough. Texaco fuel was also sold at Extra's Gold Star service areas.
Forecourt Shops
Unlike the other major operators Texaco don't have many sites with own-brand convenience store, generally choosing to use one of a selection of franchised names such as Londis, Costcutter and Mace. Of those that are self branded, the smaller forecourt snack and essentials shops are branded as 'Express Shop', while larger shops are known as 'Star Market'.
'Star Market' was once a big brand, with its name well-advertised and often causing their forecourts to be nicknamed 'Star Garage'.
