Buc-ee’s is expanding its Texas footprint again in 2026, with two new locations adding more options for travelers along major highway routes. San Marcos is already open, while the long-awaited Boerne store is moving closer to its expected opening.

San Marcos, Texas — Opened May 2026

The San Marcos Buc-ee’s opened in May 2026 along I-35 between Austin and San Antonio. Its location makes it a convenient stop for drivers traveling between two of Central Texas’s busiest cities.

• Size: 74,707 square feet
• Location: I-35, San Marcos, TX
• Significance: Adds a major Buc-ee’s stop along the Austin–San Antonio stretch of I-35, giving travelers a convenient midpoint option.
• Status: Open as of May/June 2026

Boerne, Texas — Expected Summer 2026

The Boerne Buc-ee’s has been in the works for years and is now under construction. Its location west of San Antonio will bring Buc-ee’s to another heavily traveled section of I-10 through the Texas Hill Country.

• Size: 54,000 square feet
• Location: I-10, Boerne, TX
• Significance: Provides a new Buc-ee’s stop for drivers traveling through the scenic Hill Country west of San Antonio.
• Status: Under construction, with an expected summer 2026 opening.

The Original Buc-ee’s — Lake Jackson, Texas (1982)

Long before Buc-ee’s became known for enormous travel centers, the brand began with a much smaller store in Lake Jackson, Texas, a Gulf Coast community about 50 miles south of Houston.

On July 30, 1982, Arch “Beaver” Aplin III and Don Wasek opened the first Buc-ee’s at 104 Oyster Creek Drive. It looked very different from the massive stores travelers know today, with a modest convenience-store layout and a small number of fuel pumps. Even then, however, Aplin placed a strong focus on clean restrooms and a pleasant customer experience, values that later became central to the Buc-ee’s identity.

The name “Buc-ee’s” combines Aplin’s childhood nickname, “Beaver,” with the name of his Labrador retriever. The familiar beaver mascot, complete with its buck teeth and baseball cap, eventually became one of the most recognizable symbols of the brand.

The original Lake Jackson location is still operating, although its size and setup are far more modest than today’s giant Buc-ee’s travel centers. For longtime fans and road-trip enthusiasts, stopping at the original store offers a chance to see where the Buc-ee’s story began.

Everything is bigger in Texas, and the Luling Buc-ee’s certainly fits that reputation. Located along I-10 between San Antonio and Houston, this massive store holds the title of the world’s largest Buc-ee’s, giving travelers an impressive stop on one of the state’s busiest highways.

Key Stats

• Size: 75,593 square feet
• Fuel pumps: 120 fueling positions
• Address: 3501 E Pierce St, Luling, TX 78648
• Opened: 2024
• Record: Became larger than the previous record-holder in Sevierville, Tennessee

The current Luling store replaced Buc-ee’s former travel center on the same site, expanding the location into a much larger destination while keeping its place on this important Texas route.

Inside, the huge footprint provides plenty of room for Texas BBQ, brisket sandwiches, kolaches, fudge, Beaver Nuggets, jerky, pastries, and Buc-ee’s merchandise. With 120 fueling positions outside and an enormous retail and food area inside, the Luling location feels more like a destination than a traditional gas station.

The New Braunfels Buc-ee’s, located at 3861 S I-35, is another major Texas landmark. At approximately 66,000 square feet, it once held the title of the world’s largest Buc-ee’s and remains a popular stop for travelers driving the busy I-35 route between Austin and San Antonio.

Dallas to Houston via I-45

Best stops: Ennis → Madisonville

For a Dallas-to-Houston drive, Ennis is a convenient early stop, while Madisonville works especially well as a midpoint break. Its central position along I-45 makes it an easy place to stop for fuel, food, and a quick rest. Allow around 20–30 minutes if you want to explore the store rather than make a quick fuel stop.

Houston to San Antonio via I-10

Best stops: Katy → Luling → Boerne

The I-10 route offers some of the most memorable Buc-ee’s stops in Texas. Luling is the standout, thanks to its enormous size and wide selection of food, fuel, and merchandise. If you want time to experience the store, consider adding 30–45 minutes to your journey. Once the Boerne location opens, it will provide another convenient stop west of San Antonio.

Dallas to San Antonio via I-35

Best stops: Hillsboro → Temple → Georgetown → San Marcos → New Braunfels

I-35 offers one of the strongest concentrations of Buc-ee’s along a major Texas road-trip route. Drivers can choose from several locations as they travel south from the Dallas–Fort Worth area toward San Antonio. San Marcos and New Braunfels are especially notable stops on the southern portion of the journey.

Austin to the Gulf Coast via TX-71

Best stop: Bastrop

Bastrop makes a convenient Buc-ee’s stop when traveling east from Austin on TX-71. Its location provides a useful chance to refuel, grab something to eat, and take a break before continuing toward the Gulf Coast.

West Texas via I-10

Best stop: Fort Stockton

For drivers crossing West Texas on I-10, Fort Stockton is one of the most useful Buc-ee’s stops on the route. Services become more spread out across this remote stretch of highway, making it a practical place to refuel, get food, and take a proper break before continuing toward El Paso or Junction.

Texas Buc-ee’s locations are open 24/7. Stores operate around the clock throughout the year, including holidays. Whether you arrive early in the morning or stop late at night, you can expect the fuel pumps, food counters, restrooms, and merchandise areas to be available.

Semi-trucks and 18-wheelers are not allowed. Buc-ee’s is designed mainly for passenger vehicles, and its parking lots do not accommodate traditional semi-trucks. This policy helps keep the lots easier to navigate and leaves more space for regular travelers.

Must-Buy Items at Buc-ee’s

Every Texas location has plenty to choose from, but a few Buc-ee’s favorites are especially popular:

• Beaver Nuggets: A sweet, crunchy corn snack and one of Buc-ee’s signature treats.
• Brisket Sandwich: Fresh-sliced Texas-style brisket served on a soft bun.
• Kolaches: Fresh-baked options, with sausage and cheese being classic choices.
• Fudge: Buc-ee’s fudge counter offers large blocks that are cut into individual portions.
• Jerky: The extensive jerky selection includes numerous flavors and varieties.

Best Times to Visit

For a quicker stop, weekday mornings are generally a good choice. Early morning and later evening hours can also be less busy than peak daytime periods.

Traffic can increase significantly during holiday weekends, especially along busy I-35 and I-45 routes. If you’re traveling during Thanksgiving, Memorial Day, or another major holiday period, allow additional time for parking, food lines, and checkout.

Car Wash Availability

Many newer Texas Buc-ee’s locations feature large car washes, but they are not available at every store. Older locations may have fewer amenities, so check the specific location details before planning your trip around a car wash.

EV Charging

EV charging is becoming more common at newer Buc-ee’s stores, including Tesla Superchargers and other charging options. However, charging availability is not yet the same at every Texas location. Drivers relying on Buc-ee’s for an EV charge should confirm the specific location beforehand.

Ethanol-Free Fuel

Many Buc-ee’s locations also offer ethanol-free gasoline, which can be useful for boats, motorcycles, lawn equipment, and other small engines. Look for the clearly marked fuel pumps when you arrive.
