The World's Biggest Buc-Ee's Is The Size Of 1.5 Football Fields

In a world where most people are disgusted by gas station food, Buc-ee's is a beacon in a storm. The chain has established a reputation as the gas station that serves fresh Texas BBQ and pricey big brisket sandwiches. After a long day on the road, a place like Buc-ee's is perfect for getting your car and yourself refueled.

As a Texas founded chain, Buc-ee's is already known for having pretty big locations, complete with rows of fuel pumps and an indoor grocery area. However, it is always possible to be bigger in Texas, and, in June 2024, Buc-ee's opened the world's biggest Buc-ee's in Luling, Texas. The new location clocks in at a massive 75,593 square feet.

The Luling location set a new record by 1,000 square feet. Previously, the biggest Buc-ee's was in Sevierville, Tennessee, and measured at a little over 74,000 square feet. In a way, it was only fitting that a Texas Buc-ee's location eventually took the crown for biggest Buc-ee's, given that the chain got its start in Texas.

Luling already had a Buc-ee's before this location opened. The previous Luling Buc-ee's was actually the first Buc-ee's travel center built back in 2003. This expanded location on 1.7 acres also made history as the 50th Buc-ee's location to open. Compounded with the fact that this opening also served as a facelift for the first Buc-ee's, there's quite a lot of nostalgia at play here.

Other than being bigger and better than before, the world's biggest Buc-ee's is not that different from the rest of the chain. Granted, it has 120 fuel pumps and way more space, but it still serves up all of your favorites: fresh BBQ, flavored beef jerky, and of course plenty of Beaver Nuggets, a popular snack only available at Buc-ee's.
