60,000 sq/ft featuring 96 fuel pumps and the cleanest restrooms you have to pee to believe :]

Hopefully the weather clears up to go watch some racing at Royal Purple Raceway and stop for some Beaver Nuggets

Why did they make it so big?

(If you say 'because Texas', I will destroy several million pounds of cookie dough without cooking or eating it)

Because everything is bigger in Texas. I didn't believe all the hype about Buc'ee's until I actually went to Texas and saw for myself.

Seriously, Buc-ee's entire selling point is how gigantic they are and the clean bathrooms. It is the literal embodiment of "because TX"

"In 2012, Buc-ee's opened its largest store in New Braunfels, Texas on Interstate 35 . The New Braunfels travel center is the largest convenience store in the world at 68,000 square feet. The store features 120 fuel pumps (60 at construction, 60 more added in late 2013), 83 toilets, 31 cash registers, 4 Icee machines, 80 fountain dispensers , tubing and water gear for the Guadalupe River, and a farmer's market that features Grade 1 fruit and produce"

I pass it a couple times a year. It's big.

I'm not even sure. I've been to Texas a few times between San Antonio, Houston, and Austin.

Buc-ee's shouldn't be a thing. There's no reason why a gas station should be that big...

But it is a thing. And that's why Texas is cool :P
