Buc ee's is primary Texas. It's a Texas brand and was born here. Recently they have expanded to other southern states. Theres 34 in Texas and the few other states barely have 2. They've just recently (i think they're still building it) are making an EVEN BIGGER one here in Texas to be the biggest, after a new one in another state is about to open the biggest (Texas wasn't having it lol). The one in this video is the current biggest (opened) which is in New Braunfels, Texas. Its a city between San Antonio and Austin, Texas. The new one is going to be in Luling, Texas. Which is right next to Austin. It's going to be 75,000 sq. ft.

Anyways...LOVE BUC-EES's! We have a small ass one here in Cypress in metro Northwest Houston. Basically a regular gas station. I've also always wanted to visit the Buc-ee's in Katy, just to go through the worlds longest car wash! I saw construction on the one in Luling a few weeks ago replace the current one.

We have a number of Buc-ees here in Texas that they could have been in as they all look the same.

The bathrooms are well known for being meticulously clean.

[@nullakjg767]

Most buccees are so big, their store is mirrored. so everything they have will be in each half of the store, with 2 sets of reigsters so you dont need to traverse the entire store. no matter which pump you pull up to. they also usualy have armed guards since they are open 24/7

[@americansmark]

Yea. Some of us truckers (at least in the US) stay in hotels because the company they contract for has a legal requirement to park in a safe area. Truck-friendly hotels often have security that watch the trailer and the driver gets a stipend from the company to pay for the hotel. Same. Goes for oversize loads that don't fit into truck stops or can't easily turn off the highway. They will park at a weigh station or special rest area and one of the chase vehicles carries their gear and takes the crew to a nearby hotel for the night.

The fun thing about Buc-EE's is the billboards and their humor to tell you one is coming up. There is one just outside of Austin. But they are all throughout Texas and the south. My favorites are the coated almonds especially when warm, the fountain drinks are cheap, and the pudding. You can buy clothing and swimsuits, fishing and camping gear, housewares and decor, and toys and puzzles.

Years ago, my brother, sister-in-law, and their kids lived down in Alabama (where she's from), and used to send my dad (in Chicago, where we're from) a huge box of pecans! They had a pecan tree in their yard....so I'm assuming they grow in warm/hot climates. My dad made the BEST pecan pies! I also like bananas like you do, just a tiny bit past the green stage! When they start to ripen and get soft, they're gross! That's how my husband likes them, very ripe. At that stage, for me, it's banana bread ready, lol.

@@emmef7970 CA is the one non southern state with a diverse enough climate to have pecans but also have desert and colder areas. The states in between CA and TX have the wrong climate for them.

At just under 67,000 sq feet sitting on 18 acres, I would say as gas stations/convenience stores go it's a world record holder. With everything you need at a gas station in abundance, including 80 soda fountains, 60 gas pumps, 31 cash registers, 1,000 parking spaces and has 250 employees working for them. However, that is pocket change compared with the worlds largest truck stop. The I-80 truck stop is just over 100,000 sq feet sitting on 225 acres of which 75 is developed. There are 42 gas pumps, 16 dedicated diesel lanes (one of which allows for oversized loads), and recently added two universal EV charging stations. Parking spaces include 900 dedicated Semi-truck, 250 autos and 20 dedicated Bus spaces. There is also a convenience store, The Iowa 80 Kitchen, a 300-seat restaurant: gift store, a Food Court featuring Wendy’s (open 24 hours), Dairy Queen, Orange Julius, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Caribou Coffee, Blimpie Deli, and Einstein Bros.
