They say everything's bigger in Texas. That certainly appears to be the case with rest stops and travel centers. If you haven't heard, the country's biggest Buc-ee's is coming back to Texas.That's right, the Lone Star State is reclaiming the biggest Buc-ee's in the country, and the groundbreaking is coming up on November 16.

But where will the world's biggest Buc-ee's be? According to KXAN in Austin, this state-of-the-art travel center will be on I-10 about an hour outside of Austin, replacing the current existing Buc-ee's in Luling, Texas. The new store will be built next to the existing one in Luling, birthplace of the first Buc-ee's family travel center back in 2003.

Trust me, this won't be your run-of-the-mill Buc-ee's. This new location will boast 75,000 square feet of awesomeness including 120 fuel stations, plus all the favorites you've come to know and love. The Bar-B-Que at Buc-ee's is no joke, and the wall of jerky is fantastic. Then there's everyone's favorite, the Beaver nuggets. But how about those restrooms too? Buc-ee's takes pride in their clean restrooms.

You'll find 43 Buc-ee's stores in Texas and across the southern U.S. The company started a major expansion in 2019 and now has locations in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
