Fill ’Er Up

Green Spot Market & Fuels

Thanks to your nonstop schedule, a typical eating-out experience is a greasy on-the-go (and guilt-packed) hot dog.

Shed that shame: Gas up at Green Spot Market & Fuels.

The earth-friendly White Rock Lake station has a mini-mart stashed with nutritional foods — homemade sandwiches, vegan muffins and cookies, fresh sushi — as well as organic coffee, natural sodas, and dairy made from local cows.

They also have regular unleaded gas, diesel mixed with biodiesel fuel made from vegetable oil and animal fats, and 100 percent recycled fuel. Even better, all cups and plates are biodegradable, and the station has fresh flowers and free WiFi inside.

To top it all off, Green Spot gives back to local schools and organizations that preserve and enhance the nearby lake.

Now that’s a stop worth slowing down for.

Green Spot Market & Fuels, 702 North Buckner Boulevard (214-319-7768 or greenspotmarket.com).
