Let’s all take a moment and appreciate the gas station ranked No. 1 in America in recent years: Buc-ee’s.
Texas-born and Texas-adored, it’s hard not to love Buc-ee’s, where all your road trip essentials are in just one stop. Lucky for us, there are several North Texas locations, which we’ve mapped out for you below. We feel it’s only right to give the chain some love after its name was egregiously mispronounced in this viral TikTok video (and if that just made your blood boil, this iconic response seems to say it all).
The Bathrooms
No apologies made for starting our list here. The Buc-ee’s bathrooms are hard to compete with, and we’re not even talking by gas station standards. Clean, oversized, and high-tech, the bathrooms can always be relied on when you’re pulling off a Texas-sized road trip, though the New Braunfels location takes the cake with 33 urinals and 50 toilet stalls.
Beaver Nuggets
Corn puffs coated in caramel with a satisfying crunch may just be the best road trip snack ever, though Buc-ee’s is not shy of jerky, bacon grease, glass bottled Cokes or basically every candy in the world.
The Giftables
Not only perfect for snacks, Buc-ee’s is also the place to go for some Texas-style swag. Whether for yourself or for a fellow Buc-ee’s devotee, there are t-shirts, beaver stuffed animals, a waffle iron in the shape of Texas, flasks, bumper stickers and so much more.
The Coffee
Did you know? Buc-ee’s coffee was voted the best gas station coffee in the nation. ☕
The Shops
You can really get your steps in walking through all the different sections at Buc-ee’s. We can’t help but shout-out the homemade fudge, the popcorn, and of course the Icee selection.
