Ice Box

Ice Box is a regional convenience-store brand in the Houston, Texas area operating multiple fuel and corner-store locations, such as Ice Box #4166 on Pease Street and Ice Box #4023 on the East Freeway. These locations are typically attached to branded fuel pumps (for example, Exxon) and provide the usual mix of gasoline, diesel at some sites, and a small-format retail store with packaged snacks, cold beverages, coffee, basic groceries, tobacco products, and other on-the-go essentials.([exxon.com](https://www.exxon.com/en/find-station/exxon-houston-tx-icebox4166pease-200319426?utm_source=openai))

A charge labeled “ICE BOX HOUSTON TX” on a card statement most commonly comes from paying for fuel at the pump or inside the store, or from purchasing items such as drinks, snacks, cigarettes, lottery tickets, or car-related supplies. Depending on how the terminal is set up, the descriptor may or may not include a specific store number (e.g., Ice Box 4166) and may appear simply as “ICE BOX HOUSTON TX.” In some cases, you may also see a preauthorization amount (for example, a higher temporary hold when you pay at the pump) that later adjusts to the actual transaction total once the sale is finalized.

If you are unsure about an Ice Box charge, first check your recent fuel stops or convenience-store visits in the Houston area around the date of the transaction, and compare the amount to typical fuel or in-store purchase totals. Receipts from Exxon or other co-branded stations with an Ice Box name on the storefront are a strong indicator. To resolve questions, you can contact the specific store (for example, the Windfern Road location listed in online directories) using the phone number on your receipt or from business listings, and ask them to look up the transaction by date, time, and amount. If the store cannot locate the charge or you suspect fraud, contact your card issuer to dispute the transaction or request a new card number.
