Born in 1982, “always-open” gas station and fast-food chain Buc-ee’s has been building a cult following for years, and that growth has recently reached what could almost be described as a fever pitch. This week, the Austin American-Statesman reported on plans for two Buc-ee’s locations opening in Central Texas—and well over a dozen locations in the works across the South and the Midwest in the next two years.
The two Central Texas locations will open in Boerne and in San Marcos. News about the Buc-ee’s in San Marcos was also broken by the Statesman early this year: a 74,000-square-foot, $47 million location with 128 fueling positions.
A press release cited in the coverage described the whole smorgasbord: “Texas barbeque, homemade fudge, kolaches, Beaver Nuggets, jerky and fresh pastries.”
That, of course, is not even to mention “the same award-winning restrooms, cheap gas, quality products and excellent service that have won the hearts, trust and business of millions for over 40 years.”
With groundbreaking already having taken place in January, the opening is planned for May 2026, at the intersection of Yarrington Road and I-35 (Frontage Road).
“Ever since our inception in 1982, we have been committed to providing a clean, friendly, and in stock experience for our customers” says the Buc-ee’s website. Regardless of where you may find us, if the store is big or small, near or far, the mission remains the same.
