With 120 gas pumps and all the Texas-style fan favorites—brisket sandwiches, homemade fudge, beaver nuggets, and 20 varieties of jerky—the store is expected to become a major roadside destination. Annual sales are projected to exceed $30 million, not including fuel, and more than 200 full-time jobs have been created.

Buc-ee’s, founded in Texas more than 40 years ago, has built a cult following for its oversized travel centers, wide food selection, and clean restrooms. There are now 54 locations.
