The statement also acknowledged the significance of opening the new location in Luling, as the town was home to the first Buc-ee’s family travel center, which opened back in 2003. The store will also mark the 50th Buc-ee’s location in Texas and the southeast United States.

Located at 10070 I-10, the new store will boast 120 gas pumps. The iconic snacks and hot foods the store have become famous for will also be available.

This will mark the 35th Buc-ee’s in Texas. Overall, the company has 50 stores with stops now in Alabama, Florida, George, Kentucky, South Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri and Colorado.

The very first Buc-ee’s opened in 1982 in Clute, Texas.

The franchise boasts to have the cleanest restrooms in America.
