Bucces is truly a gas station, no trucks bigger than pickups allowed. Jolly barely scratched the surface of all that they have to offer. Didn't show the BBQ, bathrooms with more stalls than they have gas pumps (so clean you'd think they were brand spanking new) just to name 2 major misses. They pay their employees very well and so demand they provide exceptional customer service. I've never been in 1 that had less than 100 people shopping in it.
Thanks for the details. 😊
Nice. I'm in the Northeast but I've heard of Buccees before. Been dying to go to one one day.😊
The one in San Marcos has a separate entrance for 18 wheelers
Likely that they wouldn't be allowed to film inside the restrooms.
The food they didn't have smh
That store is 10X bigger than what this video shows. The food service area is unbelievable all by itself. A colossal adventure just shopping Buc-ees.
My brother in law was best friends with Bucce, tragically he was killed in a car wreck when they were teenagers. Bucees big brother bought a small Texaco station here on the way to Surfside Beach TX. And named it Bucees after his little brother 😢 everyone I know growing up here would all stop and shop on the way to the beach. Eventually he franchised it and it has blown up all over Texas 😊 They are famous for the cleanest restrooms you will ever find. They clean them two or three times every shift 😊
The large superstores have attendants in the bathroom constantly cleaning, checking paper products, misting with refreshers. These stores employ from 170 to 200 persons, some full time, some part time, but with at least 40-50 per shift on duty.
Wow that is good history! I did not know that was how Bucees started! What an amazing tribute for this gas station to survive. Everything is bigger in Texas! Texas sized!
Cool story had no idea
Holy smokes.... It is a sad story but I am happy that the original Bucce's big brother decided to remember him forever. I wish the best for you and everyone else you know.
Nice to hear his brother made his name into a national treasure.
It's a chain of gas stations that's been around over 40 years. The smallest is like a standard gas station and store, while the newest larger store has 120 gas pumps and ev charging stations and a store of 74K feet
The one they are building in Florida is going to be 80,000 sq ft
@bigkilla2608 yes I recently got that good news :)
You southerners are crazy. This is coming from an Okie.
Would be interesting to see them come to Arizona.
In 2012, Buc-ee's opened its largest travel center in New Braunfels, Texas, on Interstate 35. The New Braunfels location is the largest convenience store in the world at 68,000 square feet (6,300 m2).[13] The store features 120 fueling positions, 1,000 parking spots, 64 ice freezers, 83 toilets, 31 cash registers, four Icee machines, and 80 fountain dispensers. And a larger one is in the works.
Not anymore, my state of Tennessee opened the largest in the world recently
@@Lucas6l5heard texas is making a bigger one because they refuse a bigger one to exist in another state lol
@Vincent Wilkes A new gigantic one is planned for Wisconsin, too. Its size isn't finalized yet. But it will be north of 73 or 74,000 sq. Ft.
I doubt Buc-ee's cares less where the biggest one is located. All of them are the same. The 72,000 is the same as a 68,000. It's just isle size that changes to allow for better free movement of foot traffic depending on how busy the location is. They all sell the same products.
My cousin and I drove down from Austin and did some of our Christmas shopping there lol
I worked as a supervisor at that exact store they visited. They didn't even explore everything. There are more gas pumps on the other side of the building, there is a whole outdoors section that has different kind of animal feeds and BBQ pits and fire pits, they didn't even visit all the stalls in the restroom that are cleaned multiple times a shift. You can sample every flavor of jerky, fudge, and dip n dots (ice cream), there are multiple BBQ sandwiches you can eat as well as other hot food made to order in the deli. The gift department is enormous and I can go on forever. Truly an amazing chain of gas stations. The locations in Lulling Tx, New Braunfels Tx, and Bastrop Tx have been expanding larger and larger for the title of the biggest bucees. The owner is just a marketing genius and every location is on major highway intersections
Tbf they probably didn't even think about checking out the bathrooms when going there, maybe they should've asked people who've been there to tell them about a lot of the best things to look for/try at a Buc-ees prior to visiting. However, even if they knew about how nice the bathrooms were, I don't think they would even be able to film inside there. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to do that in public restrooms. Although I definitely agree that it was pretty disappointing that they didn't try any of the BBQ or deli options offered there
Native Texan here. If you ask for a Peecan, you could be pointed to the nearest port-a-potty, washroom or restroom. Pe caan is the pronunciation used by my maternal grandparents who were born in Indian Territory (Mommo 1907-1997 and Poppo 1903-1997)
A peecan IS a porta-potty! Great call!
My wife and I just wound up a 6,000 mile trip around the states. We went from Pennsylvania to Texas and hit up two Bucees on the way. A new one in Tennessee (I think it is the largest) and one in Texas. My wife was hungry and got a bar b que beef sandwich. It was huge and to die for. They cut and package in front of you. Grills and smokers. Clothing. House wares. Food of every size, shape and description. Started in the south, they are in the middle of an expansion. Oh....and....the cleanest restrooms on the planet. The soft drink station must have been able to serve 50 or 60 peeps at a time. I have never seen anything like it.....ever!
This is not a good video for Buc-ees. They're most known for their brisket, pulled pork and fried chicken sandwiches. They didn't even show the entire wall of beef jerky. They didn't even mention the restrooms which are award winning. They're absolutely immacculate. They are a chain mostly found in Texas and the South but they are expanding.
To be fair, the Jolly boys did just go to Terry Black's BBQ. Buc-ees BBQ is good but not Terry Black's good. They should have grabbed the a normal beef jerky and some of the other staples though.
@@spaceshiplewis They did ask in all fairness what was the most popular.
I was on my way to Georgia this past Saturday to buy lottery tickets and looked over at the Buc ee's in Auburn, Alabama. It has 120 gas pumps and there were vehicles at every one of them! I begged my husband to stop so I could go inside and shop and he said not with him. I'd have to get some of my yapping friends for that.😅
Helping you out on your question how to pronounce “pecan”. My daddy is from the South and would not ever turn down a pecan in any form. Because I never lived there, I once asked my Aunt Lilla the correct pronunciation. She said-and I quote-“Girl, it depends where y’all are from. We are from Arkansas so we say p’cahn. Other folks say pee-can. Doesn’t matter how you say it as long as you get plenty.”
In Texas the nut is pronounced Puh-CON. The stations are along big highways. I've driven by many times and the parking lots are FULL...even tho there are hundreds of parking spots.
I've always told people how we Texans pronounce pecan. I figure, since it's our state tree, we should be the authority on how to say the name!
Thank you!!!! I don't know why I get so offended when they call it a pee can. My dad always said a pee can is what you keep under your bed at night😂😂
@@allibrown8960 YES!!!
So it was originally a gas station known for clean bathrooms. First time my family said they were taking me to Bucee's I thought it sounded so stupid. There's even more stuff in there than they show. It is my favorite place to go every time I visit Texas!!!
Your question as to whether Buc-ee's is a gas station or a store and the answer is yes to both. Great place for road snacks and a fill up. If you are traveling in an RV or Semi truck you can also stay the night in the parking lot. They have great bathrooms and showers as well.
I did not think the overnight stay was allowed, so this is news to hear. There are no public showers available.
@@billyhndrsn4542 I could be wrong but I thought it was allowed. Maybe I've just seen people attempt it. Apologies for any incorrect info.
I’ve only heard people trying to overnight it, but are told they aren’t allowed.
Fudge in the US tends to be very heavy/dense. Every time I hear a person from outside the US describe an American food as tasting artificial, I want to laugh because most Americans would never know to use that kind of description other than health nuts.
I think most Americans who remember life before the 1990s would think to describe food as artificial or chemical tasting. After 1990 food in the US started to taste much more chemical and even more full of preservatives. Obesity became much more of an issue after the 80s.
My previously favorite cereal Ohs changed. Artificial is how I'd describe the change, sickingly sweet, and it tastes _disgusting._
I dont think I've ever seen Ollie so giddy with food joy.
I live 20 to 30 mins from 2 different ones in north Dallas and they are really cool. They didn't really even scratch the surface on the food in this video. Most of the really good food is ordered on the tablets and made fresh. There's also a whole side of the store they missed showing home decor, clothes and other random stuff you can buy. Highly suggest visiting if you're near one.
Yeah the whole thing really looks more like a tourist destination that just happens to have a bunch of gas pumps.
Honestly, i live in the Rio Grande Valley, South of Corpus by about 2 hours. i REALLY hope we get one down here because as it stands right now, i would have to drive 5 hours north to get to the closest buc-ees. so you my friend, are lucky to have 2 within a 30 minute drive
I live In Orange County, California and travel to Phoenix, Arizona often. There are several large gas stations in between, but nothing like this one.
I also drive to Las Vegas, Nevada but not in the last year. Still, I have never heard of this place, Buc-Ees.
@@pjschmid2251things become a tourist destination for a reason!
@@djkrazykalyI drive past this one in the video multiple times a week for work, needless to say I stop there often for snacks
You weren't wrong. I just looked it up and the AVERAGE ASDA in the UK is 42000 sq ft (largest is 100K). This Buccee's is 68K.
5:36
In answer to that question, Kabir
A corndog is typically completely covered in the batter before it's fried
And it’s a hot dog.
I'm in Calif.Three of my friends and I saw a vid about Buc-ees. We took a spur of the moment road trip to the Buc-ees in Ft Worth Texas. That Buc-ees is amazing! We spent the whole day in that place! The food is super fresh and nearly all did not disappoint. There's at least 60-70 gas pumps and the store is at least as big as a Costco.
Kabir, on your next US vacation, you need to rent a car and visit a Buc-ees!
Kabir, you should promote your po box more so you can get goodies more often. The tasting videos are pure gold!
I'm a Texan and visit Bucee's frequently. This video is great and they did a good job showing off the food variety. What you didn't see is the entire shop where you can buy everything from jewelry, home decor, clothing, sporting goods, coolers, BBQ pits, and so much more! It's all amazing things rolled into one. It can be crazy busy, but when you are on the road and close to a Bucee's, you stop to fill up your vehicle, your belly, to take a bathroom break (great huge restrooms), and to do a little shopping. They need a part 2 to this video just to show you all of that.
As you know, Americans love to take long car trips. Until Buc-Ees came along, travelers had to stop for gas and restroom breaks at truck stops and those bathrooms weren't the cleanest if you get my drift. Buc-Ees' business model is to build travel stops that have super clean bathrooms, cheap gas, and good food.
Exactly. They are normally on Interstate Highways. In Texas you might be traveling maybe 8 or 9 hours by car. They allow you to get out and walk around in comfort and safety, grab some snacks, get a meal, and use the bathroom. It's also great entertainment for tourists.
Buc-ees is non existent in most of the U.S. There are less than 50 locations. In the rest of the country there are plenty of gas stations on all highways that accommodate thousands of travelers. They are clean and sell anything and everything you need. Saying things didn't exist until "Buc-Ees" came along is just not factual. I guess if you're in Texas you might have that impression but in the rest of the country there have been huge gas station / rest areas for decades
@@firstnamelastname6193 I've traveled across the US for years. I've visited travel stops large and small. I've never seen anything even approaching Buc-Ees.
They did not get the really good food that people actually go there to eat. The brisket and pulled pork sandwiches. Or breakfast burritos. They grabbed a lot of just snack foods. But yeah. Buckeys is an experience. Great reaction. Enjoyed it. Thanks!
My dad and i painted a house for one of the owners. He told us at the time he had 12 stores. He would pay all of his employees just from the profits from fountain drink sells. That was years ago so god only knows how much they really make.
Glazed pecans are amazing. If you don't want to go to Texas for them, every rural king (farm supply department store) sells them by the front registers. They are heated in something akin to a popcorn heater.
We lived in Pennsylvania for over a year for work and Rural King was my thing since there’s no Bucces there lol
@@ashleyraif4323 rural king is right next to my job, so it's nice to stop there and get dog food and some pecans.
I've been passing the signs on the highway for years never knew it was a gas station paradise . Just took a road trip to Texas , on the way back to Georgia we stop at one . OMG , they had all kind of food and other merchandise in there .
I got some cookies from the bakery and my cousin bought me a pull pork sandwich , they got the beef brisket and sausage on the stick . Everything was delicious. On my way home to Miami my cousins and I kept looking for the sign to get lunch from there . We passed the first one we saw but found one in Daytona Beach. I will tell anyone it is worth the stop... to answer your question it is a gas station that is along the main highways . Convenience for travelers . Oh and the banana pudding was good.
A new one recently opened off I85 in Auburn, Alabama. It is over 53,400 square feet, has 120 pumps and employs 200 people. As other commenters have stated, they are most well known for the cleanliness of the facilities and the brisket sandwich. I have enjoyed your choices today. Thumbs up!
We go to Buccees every time we take any kind of road trip. I've never gotten gas there. Just stop to get road trip snacks and use the restrooms. Their restrooms are really nice too.
I've tried every flavor of Jerky from Buc-ee's and I weep that they were sold the Cherry Maple one. If anything, they should have been given the Bohemian Garlic. It is FANTASTIC! The best flavor IMO.
When I drive my grandchildren back to Dallas after their visit, Buc-ees is a must for them. It's right on Interstate 20 and they love it....ok, I like it as well.
The one near my house here in north FL is just off I-95, between St. Augustine and Jacksonville. I-95 is a huge interstate highway, it runs from Miami to Maine, thru all the major east coast cities. It’s amazing. Edit: Buc-ees is amazing, I-95, not so much, lol.
So true about I95. LOL
Bucc-ee's is essentially a superstore, like Walmart, and typically have 100+ pumps. They used to only be in Texas, but they became so popular they've spread north a bit (there's one maybe 300 miles from me, which is a lot closer than Texas). Also, your description of petrol stations is essentially how our gas stations are. 8 pumps and a convenience store. The place I live in, even with all the neighboring towns isn't worth a Bucc-ee's, but I'd love to have one here.
I was told the pee can was under grandma’s bed
Texan here!
We do pronounce pecan as “pi-KON.” The Pecan Tree is, in fact, Texas’s official State Tree, and we use the pecan nut for many a dish down here! I absolutely _love_ praline pecans, especially.
PE- can. You can't get con from can. Unless you're a yankee.
@@1perfectpitch in Texas, it’s
puh-KAHN. In Georgia, they say PEE-can, which imho sounds awful.
@@BONNIEGRESHAM
Absolutely.
@@1perfectpitch … Did I not just get done talking about the Pecan Tree being the state tree of Texas?
I think we would know how the hell it’s pronounced, numbskull.
@@BONNIEGRESHAM You can't get puh out of pe. You can't get kahn out of can. 3rd grade grammar.
Yes. This Buc-ee's is in New Braunfels, Texas. It's on the I-35N, a big north-south Interstate traffic artery between San Antonio and Waco. I think that this one is the largest, but they're all pretty big.
They made their fame back in the day by having clean, large restrooms. When road-tripping we would always look for a Buc-ees to stop at for a potty break. They grew the brand and offerings from there.
They also have clothes...houseware....sports gear such as camping items....outside they will have about 20 ice machines...it goes on and on.
Buc-ee’s are limited to the following states, Texas, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina and Tennessee. They are always on a highway near an interchange so people coming from any direction can reach them. The stores are both gas stations and a store. They can be incredibly overwhelming to be in.
Depending on the region the pronunciation of pecan is Pea’ Con or Pea Can’. I do love hearing it pronounced Pea’ Cun.
Buc-ee's is a gas station with the cleanest bathrooms ever! I always aim to stop at Buc-ee's when we are road tripping. The food really is fresh and yummy. But they are very far apart on the highway. They even have road signs telling you the Buc-ee's is an hour away, or 80 miles away, or whatever so you can time your stop.
From what I’ve been told…
Buc-cee’s started as a privately owned gas station made more like a truck stop, but didn’t allow trucks. It started off small and grew to be something that is the only one of its kind. I’ve never been to one myself, but I work at a plant that packages some things for them. That’s how I learned about its origin
My husband is English, I'm American. We've love road tripping with our daughter, in both countries. We recently encountered our first Buck-ees, on our way home to Chicago, from Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg, TN. This one was in Kentucky, but the folks down in Pigeon Forge were very excited about the soon-to-open Buck-ees under construction in their area! For Brits, I would liken it to the "Welcome Break" centers along your motorways...and yes, it is about the size of an ASDA...and yes it is amazing. I would have never thought to rate a gas station, but this would be 5 stars! Walking back to the car, our daughter said, "That was the most American thing I've ever seen." Coming from an American teenager, I think that may have been a bit of a back-handed compliment, but I do know she was as mesmerized as I was.
I remember going from Heathrow to Leeds in one day, the gas station attendants thought it was a really long drive. I can drive 12 hours and never leave Texas. The rest stops on the motorway was okay but Bucee's is definitely cleaner and more stuff.
I visited my first Buc-ee's last month and holy Jesus is it huge!
Bucees is a brand, gas station, shop….basically it’s a lifestyle in Texas. You’re correct! The big stores are located on major highways between big cities, and it’s like a field trip every single time! I’m a sucker for always getting a bag of strawberry sour ropes and peppered beef jerky 🤤
Those damn beaver chips are always my weakness. I can’t leave without them lol
I stopped at a Buc-ees on the way home from a work trip about a month ago and picked up a sample box of fudge. I still have fudge. It is definitely not something you can just gobble down. Also picked up a chopped brisket sandwich and it was amazing. There is a lot to take in, and this place is definitely not an "in and out real quick" kind of place. Funny to think that a gas station is on someone's "Destination To Do" list.
There is so much more to Buccees than the food (which is amazing) they also sell clothes, knick knacks, stuffed animals, their own brand of coffee ( and they have an awesome coffee station) and so much more.
They have them scattered throughout Texas and a few other states I think. I live in Louisiana close to the Texas border and will gladly make a 2 hr plus road trip just to go to Buc-ees. They didn't even show 1/2 the store. You could literally spend hrs in there. They are amazing!
I used to work at a gas station/convenience store and we made much more profit off the stuff in the store than the gas. High dollar items were alcohol and tobacco. Candy and snacks also had a high markup.
It’s a chain of gas stations. There are at least 60 across the US, mostly in Texas and neighboring states.
I think the current count is about 45 Buc-ee’s with about 10 outside of Texas.
"We got a bit carried away. Much like your entire store." Also, "the sausage and the bun have a special kind of hug and then the sausage grows inside." Ollie was ON FIRE in this episode. Non-stop comedy gold.
Most of the smallest "convenience stores" where I live have a minimum of 16 gas pumps. Occasionally an old station will only have 8 or less. The largest convenience store/ gas station in our region (minimum of 24 pumps) just sold out and the new owners are adding pizza take out stores to each one.
I love Buc-ees. The store in Luling, where I usually stop, is currently being remodeled to be the largest Buc-ees ever
"There is more food in this store than there is in the entire U.K." - what a great line, and possibly true. Too bad they didn't get to the clothing; you can actually buy a bucees beaver pajama onesie for adults (as well as anything else you can imagine). It is sort of a store for travelers where they can get gas and supplies for the road, but it has evolved into a store that sells almost everything imaginable and is now a destination in itself.
When we first moved to Texas there was only the original store in Clute, Texas. The first Buc-ee's we visited was the second location that opened in Luling, Texas as it was in the same county we lived in (Guadalupe). During our tenure in Texas we witnessed the explosion of Buc-ee's locations next experiencing the location in New Braunfels, Texas, which was literally "just up the road (I-35) from where we lived. There really isn't anyway to describe a Buc-ee's, its a combination of a massive gas/petrol station with as many as 120 gas/petrol pumps, a store with more variety of foods than all of the fast-food restaurants combined, plus every variety of jerky, candy and desserts imaginable, plus a large selection of other merchandise (not quite what you'd find in a Wal-Mart or Target as the clothing options are much more limited), and although beer is available at some Buc-ee's locations, they do not sell spirits/liquor. Not to be overlooked, Buc-ee's prides itself on the size and immaculate cleanliness of their rest-rooms. Buc-ee's isn't just a gas/petrol station, or a convenience store, it is an experience, and an enjoyable one at that.
A bucees brisket burrito or sandwich is soooooo good especially pairing with some kettle chips or cashews. Amazing food and snacks
They're a chain of gas stations and they're fabulous. I live in San Antonio and ALWAYS stop on road trips. They also have the cleanest restrooms you'll find at any gas station. My parents just went the other day while they were out for a drive. Lol
I live in Texas and Buckee’s are so huge I refuse to go in except to use the bathroom. The bathrooms are enormous and spotless. Women usually don’t have to wait unless all 50+ stalls are full. That is what makes them a go to for me when traveling. My husband and grandkids go for the food. 😂
Bucces is a thing all its own. Yes, it’s technically a gas station, but I live ten minutes from one and find myself there once a week to get beaver chips and just walk around. It’s always clean and well stocked, and I’ve never had a bad experience. I’ve actually found amazing Christmas and birthday gifts in Bucces because they stock really unique stuff as well locally made items.
Fun Fact: Its hard to not know when youre approaching a Buc-ee's. In some areas, you start to see signs for the nearest Buc-ee's from upwards of 400 miles away from it...
Recently stopped at Buc-ee’s for the first time in years on a short road trip back to Arkansas from San Antonio. I’d forgotten just how crazy that place is, they really do have everything! I had a crazy good chicken sandwich and picked up several bags of candy (including praline pecans). I’d forgotten just how good their food actually is; it seems wrong for gas station food to be this good! Since they’ve spread out to neighboring states, I’m wondering why there isn’t at least one in Arkansas yet. 🤷🏻♀️
C'mon now, lol lol don't be greedy. Y'all just got one of our Whataburgers up there. Patience.
Everything Ashley says about the food is true. Gas station food has no right to be so damn good. I live in San Antonio and everytime I'm near this store my Dad wants me to stop @ Buc-ee's for some dried sausage. And yes the dried sausage is a different thing than the jerky. My weakness is the aroma of the roasted nuts/pecans/cashews etc. The smell draws you in to the center of the store as if you were lifted onto a cartoon cloud of cinnamon sugar and carried away to the hub of the store's fresh food offerings.
The original Bucees on hwy 332 in Freeport Texas is full of swimsuits and beach gear, toys, fishing poles and tackle. Everything you need for a trip to the beach 😊
At first glance, Buc-ee's may seem over the top or absurd. But, Buc-ee's makes more sense when you understand traveling from the perspective of the 30 million Texans. Here's what I mean: I live in San Antonio and for me to travel to Houston I can either drive there in less then 3 hours OR go to the airport 2 hours early, take a 1 hour flight to Houston and then have no way to get around when I get there besides an uber or taxi. Texas cities don't have elevated trains or subways like east coast cities & light rail is mostly useless. Dallas is a only a 4 hour drive (I have a heavy right foot), same with Brownsville/Harlingen/RGV. Yes, that's a lot of cars on the road but luckily we have space for that. Now from that perspective Buc-ee's is a GENIUS idea to offer fuel, good snacks, hot food, cold drinks, clean restrooms & a place to stretch your legs on long road trips. Add to that the Texas weather is usually favorable for road trips and that we have some of, if not the best roads in the country and it makes more sense to travel by car. On one of family's last road trips they passed 3 different Buc-ee's on the drive back from Galveston. Thank goodness for Buc-ee's.
there are many bucees stores everywhere in texas, they’ve started opening them in other states as well. i bet there’s probably copycat recipes online that you could try to make!
the beaver tail is basically a flat cinnamon roll, i think it might be made with a different type of dough but i’m not sure.
I live two miles from a Buc-ee's. They didn't even get the Overbites. Hunks of Beaver-shaped milk chocolate, dark chocolate, chocolate with peanut butter, chocolate with crisped rice--so good! And the milk chocolate-covered Beaver Nuggets are to die for! The thing is, since they filmed this, Buc-ee's has stopped serving the Dippin' Dots ice cream and they have stopped making the plain sausage kolaches (no cheese). Those were two of my favorite foods from Buc-ee's!
We have 1 in metro ATL, soon to be more. Ahead of their arrival, our bigger station/stores have added small kitchens to their locations selling sandwiches, toasties, wraps pizza, and even bbq and breakfast. Circle K does fried chicken. And QuickTrip’s pizza is usually better than big chain delivery, at just a little over half the price. It’s kinda like going back in time. When the US interstate system was being built out, travel centers were very popular. Consisting of a gas station(often with full garage service), a diner, a small general store, and at certain locations, a motel, cabins or campground.
Many have explained Buc-ee's chain to you. I live in Houston and whenever I take a road trip in any direction, I stop at Buc-ee's on the outskirts of town for my road snacks! I've also done Christmas shopping there....they have great gift section! And they are renowned for their always clean - no waiting bathrooms!!!!!!!!! There is definitely a lot of stuff they didn't cover. Buc-ee's is expanding outside of Texas now too!
There is 56 with 2-3 being built currently. They aren’t actually at the largest Buc-ees, they showed a store that only 60 pumps. The store by me has 120 pumps.
Buc-ee’s is a chain of gas stations in the southern US, with a lot of them clustered around the Interstate 10 corridor. I-10 is a major east-west highway that goes from Los Angeles, CA to Jacksonville, FL. No other chain even comes close to Buc-ee’s in sheer size. They are so big, their locations in major metropolitan areas have to be on the outskirts of those areas.
That reminds me of the gas stations that service tractor trailers at truck stops. But the store is definitely the largest I’ve seen at a gas station.
There are an endless number of convenience store companies out here, every play having both big name brands, and local franchises. Any number of these companies could have a brand line of their own products. Bucees is just an example of that idea going to the extreme. 7-Eleven has a bunch of 7-11 branded products like candies and sandwiches.
And better little donuts than Hostess! I like that they come in little bags as well as the standard small packages. Let's face it, when you're scarfing little crumb donuts, you want more than six. (Yeah, I'm fluffy. 😄)
@@monicapdx Amen. Give me that 3 for 2 convenience 🧡
I throughly enjoy watching Kabir Considering foods from Texas. I look forward to Kabir Consuming all the deliciousness
Buc-ee's is a chain. This was just one of over 50 locations
Every time I go to visit my sister, I usually stop there either going or coming home. Most times I don't even get gas. I usually shop the merchandise.
I was waiting for them to show the restrooms.
America has quite a few of these. They're gas stations/rest stops for travelers and truckers. You can get gas, but also food and drinks, use the bathrooms, etc. We have a lot of roads and so people here take very long road trips, sometimes driving for days at a time, so these kinds of places are needed.
Every small town in the US has a gas station. Casey’s is the most popular small town gas station in the Midwest. It sell homemade pastries, pizza and other fast foods.
There are even gas stations have places for truck drivers to shower and sleep
The shock on Josh's face from the praline pecans. 😃
Acceptable pronunciations for pecan in Texas are “pih-kahn" and "puh-kahn." Other areas of the country pronounce it "pee-can” but that doesn't fly in Texas.
Yes, all of the Buccees are on a major highway. There is one that is less than 20 miles from where I live on interstate 30 which runs from Little Rock Arkansas to Dallas Texas. I like Buccess Trail Mix and their BBQ brisket sandwiches. The bathrooms there are also huge and kept very clean. Buccees is a gas station, a store, a souvenir shop, and a restaurant all in one.
This particular store they were in is right off of Interstate 35 in New Braunfels, between San Antonio and Austin. That stretch of highway is so busy.
They missed a bunch. The made to order food. The prepared section of sandwiches and salads. The jerky section has tons of flavors from bohemian garlic, peppered, teriyaki and much more.
Kabir, it’s quite entertaining to see you reacting to videos that are about food. 😂😂😂 You always lean closer to the screen, and I swear it looks like you’re drooling! LOL!! 😂
Besides the food (breakfast, lunch, dinner )shown in this video, Buccees also has hunting gear, clothing, baby clothes, coolers, bathing suits for the whole family, fishing equipment, salads, fresh fruit, dog and cat collars and leashes, aprons, kitchenware, toys for children and pets, shoes & sandals, backpacks, pillows, camouflage, barbecue tool sets, axes, spotlights, knives, planting seeds, keychains, football jerseys and blankets, and a great bonus is the cleanest restrooms you’ll ever see! So, if you ever find your self in Buccee’s, have a great time!
Buc-ee's is an American chain of country stores, gas stations, and Tesla Superchargers created and owned by Arch "Beaver" Aplin III, headquartered in Lake Jackson, Texas…The chain is well known for the large size of its locations, alongside its product offerings of fuel, snacks (particularly beef jerky and candy), brisket, baked goods and commodities, tacos, fresh sandwiches, souvenirs, and travel items. The chain has also become well known for the cleanliness of its bathrooms, mascot, and the company's prohibition of 18-wheelers at their locations. So it’s not a truck stop - they have their own huge gas stations!
They strategically place Buc-ee's on major highway routes, often on the outskirts of major metro areas. That allows them to get good local traffic in addition to the travel traffic. Do a map search of Dallas/Ft Worth (a newer market for them) and you will see how they have been strategically placed. Buc-ee's have significantly cheaper gas than anywhere else and will often have a sign hundreds of miles out telling travelers when they will get to the next Buc-ee's. If you are travelling on a highway that has a buc-ee's, you are a fool to get gas anywhere else.
They built one about an hour from me, in Missouri. People all over St. Louis were talking about driving down there. Lol. It was on the local news and everything. Sheets is another big one people love. I only know of it on the East coast, but it's pretty nice, too.
They are great for a few reasons. When you are on the road for hours you have to stop to use the restroom. Most gas stations bathrooms are busy and dirty. At Bucee's they are always clean and you never have to wait. Most gas stations have chips, candy and sodas if you are hungry. Bucee's has real food that won't make you sick. To say they have food is an understatement. They aren't a restaurant but they are getting close. With some stores having up to 120 fueling stalls you never have to wait for slot to open. The only problem with them is you always spend more money than just the cost to fill up.
They didn’t show the apparel or the all regular stuff like road maps, jumper cables, sunglasses…. Usually near a smaller town on a major highway. Oh, and they missed the incredible bathrooms and artwork! Must stop when we are fortunate to be near. And they are located where you always need petrol.
This was awesome, I'm from DC and I've never heard of this store/gas station before...👏🏼
Live where Bucees started. Matter of fact, get breakfast there most days. Today, bacon and cheese croissant.. There are Bucees everywhere where I live and I think smallest has 10 pumps. Bucees is named from a childhood nickname of owner "Beaver" Aplin. They are renowned for immaculate clean restrooms, where you can literally buy artwork off the walls. The larger Bucees have like 50 plus pumps
Buc-ee's is a pit stop location along Interstate Highways for non-commercial vehicles. They cater to people traveling long distances, for instance in the 14 hour drive from Ohio to Florida there are 3 of them along the way.
This one is on the interstate highway corridor between San Antonio and Austin. I-35. Their brisket sandwich and their pulled pork sandwich are pretty good too!
locations in Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Tennessee, with new locations planned for Colorado, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Buc-ees is a convenience store chain, though with bigger stores than those of other chains. This Buc-ees is on I-35 in New Braunfels, TX -- SW of Austin. And it's their largest, at about 6,300 square meters.
Y'know what, Kabir? Whenever you're going to watch a food tasting video, eat first.
Oh, btw...
Three years ago they made a bunch of videos, that are on their other channel, Korean Englishman, with Ollie's then-2-yr-old daughter Juno tasting a wide variety of foods. Magical.
There is a Bucces being built in Missouri but it's about 4 hours from where I live. That one is supposed to have 100 gas pumps.
a regular convenience store attached to a Gas/Petrol station in the US is between 7,500 and 30k square feet depending on where the Gas station/convenience store is located
❤❤😂 seriously we rarely get gas at buc-ee's. We go for the store and like Josh and Ollie we come out with bags hahaha. They are always on highways, at least the ones I've seen. The jerky is awesome we get the spicy and original. Definitely need to find a one of these when you visit.
The pecan tree is the state tree of Texas. Pecans are grown all over the state. I have a few pecans trees on my property. They are very popular here in Texas.
I used to live about 20 minutes away from the Buc ee's in New Braunfels Texas. I do miss the experience of walking around the store and mostly miss the Beaver Nuggets. 😢😭🥺😭💔
There are a bunch of Bucees in Texas. Some are huge, some are "normal sized" similar to other gas stations. The only disadvantage is that truckers are not allowed to shop there. So the truckers are good enough to deliver gas, or petrol, but if they try to purchase anything in the store, they are often escorted out and told they aren't welcome there.
