Buc-ee’s, known for having the world’s cleanest bathrooms, freshest food, and friendliest beaver, will be opening its newest travel center in Luling, TX on Monday, June 10, 2024. The doors will open to the public at 6 a.m. CT, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony will follow at 12:00 p.m. CT.
The new Buc-ee’s Luling will be the largest Buc-ee’s location in the country, occupying more than 75,000 square feet. It will replace the city’s current Buc-ee’s store, which was the brand’s first family travel center built in 2003.
Located at 10070 I-10, Buc-ee’s Luling will offer 120 fueling positions just outside its store, along with a wide variety of snack, meal, and drink options for travelers on the go. Buc-ee’s favorites such as Texas barbecue, homemade fudge, kolaches, Beaver Nuggets, jerky, and fresh pastries will all be available.
Local leaders attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony will include Mayor CJ Watts of Luling, former Mayor Mike Hendricks of Luling, Caldwell County Judge Hoppy Haden, and Luling City Manager Mark Mayo.
Following the opening of Buc-ee’s Luling, the company will operate 50 stores across Texas and the South. Since beginning its multi-state expansion in 2019, Buc-ee’s has opened travel centers in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, and Colorado. Buc-ee’s has also broken ground on the first Virginia and Mississippi locations earlier this year.
“We are thrilled to open the doors to the world’s largest Buc-ee’s travel center right here in the Great State of Texas,” said Buc-ee’s Director of Real Estate and Development, Stan Beard. “It’s particularly exciting, considering this is the Buc-ee’s that started it all, so we are really looking forward to celebrating with the incredible people of Luling.”
Buc-ee’s Luling will create over 200 jobs for the area, offering competitive starting pay, full benefits, a 6% matching 401k, and three weeks of paid vacation.
