The World's Biggest Buc-Ee's Also Holds This Impressive Record

It's a Buc-ee's world, just in case you haven't received the memo. Buc-ee's is so much more than a convenience store travel center; it's a destination. Clean bathrooms, gas pumps galore, an endless array of snack options (including the must-try Buc-ee's beaver nuggets), fudge made in-house, and a beloved mascot have roadtrippers planning their routes just so they can experience this phenomenon. If that trip includes a visit to the largest Buc-ee's, you may be surprised to learn it's actually the largest convenience store in the world. 

The Luling, Texas Buc-ee's opened in June 2024 and can be found just east of San Antonio off Interstate 10.  Clocking in at a mind-boggling 75,593 square feet and boasting 120 gas pumps, it's just over 1.7 acres, which is larger than a football field. The Luling Bucc-ee's surpasses the previous record holder for largest store, the Sevierville, Tennessee, location, which is a mere 74,707 square feet.

This is not the first Buc-ee's for Luling, Texas. In 2003, the chain opened its first oversized center in this city; however, it was only 35,000-square-foot. What can you expect when visiting this stop? Barbecue. Buc-ee's is well-known for its brisket sandwiches, its world-famous jerky made by New Braunfels Smokehouse, and its kolaches, a savory Czech pastry that is a Texas staple. You can even make a DIY dirty soda by stopping by the fountain drip and coffee stations, along with all the other great things you can expect to eat at a Buc-ees.

Additionally, there are also plenty of trinkets that scream, "We stopped at Buc-ee's." T-shirts, mugs, and plushies are waiting to tempt you and your pocketbook. This is a lot like visiting your favorite amusement park. You don't want to miss anything, even if you are just stopping to get gas and use the restroom.
