The Great Buc-ee's Showdown: Texas Size or Tennessee Titans?
Ah, Buc-ee's. A beacon of rest stop revelry, a temple of travel snacks, a gas station so glorious it makes you want to sing the national anthem (or at least buy a shirt with it on). But with Buc-ee's expanding faster than a kolache stuffed with sausage, a burning question arises: where in the Lone Star State can you find the biggest Buc-ee's?
Hold Your Horses, Partner: The New Braunfels Nostalgia
For years, the undisputed champion was the Buc-ee's in New Braunfels, Texas. Clocking in at a whopping 68,000 square feet, this behemoth boasted bragging rights and restrooms so clean you could practically eat off the floor (though we wouldn't recommend it – Buc-ee's barbecue is way tastier).
But Then Came Tennessee...
Just when we thought Texas had secured Buc-ee's bragging rights forever, Tennessee swooped in like a rogue tumbleweed. In June 2023, the Sevierville Buc-ee's opened its doors, boasting a jaw-dropping 74,707 square feet. That's practically the size of a small Texas town, folks! Talk about a Buc-ee's bonanza!
The Plot Twist: Texas Fights Back!
Now, hold on to your cowboy hats, because Texas isn't one to give up easily. There's a rumor rumbling louder than a Buc-ee's milkshake machine – a new Buc-ee's is under construction in Luling, Texas, and it's aiming to be the biggest. Buc-ee's. Ever. We're talking over 75,000 square feet of Buc-ee's bliss!
So, Who Wins the Buc-ee's Belt?
As of today, April 26, 2024, the title of biggest Buc-ee's in Texas goes to... no one yet! The Luling location is still under construction. But one thing's for sure, the competition is fierce, and Buc-ee's fans everywhere are waiting with bated breath (and empty stomachs) to see who emerges victorious.
The Moral of the Story? Buc-ee's Wins!
No matter which Buc-ee's holds the crown, one thing's clear: Buc-ee's wins. We, the Buc-ee's-loving public, win with endless aisles of snacks, pristine restrooms, and that undeniable Buc-ee's magic. So, whether you're in Texas, Tennessee, or Timbuktu, keep your eyes peeled for the next Buc-ee's mega-station. After all, bigger is always better, especially when it comes to Buc-ee's!
