Three Coastal Bend convenience stores destroyed by Hurricane Harvey will be re-opening this month.

Stripes locations in Port Aransas, Ingleside and Aransas Pass will hold opening celebration with employees and customers to commemorate the events.

“We are excited to announce the openings of our newly rebuilt Stripes stores. Our team has worked very hard to return the stores to our communities and our loyal customers.
