They say everything is bigger in Texas. When it comes to gas stations, that saying definitely holds up when you are talking about Buc-ee’s travel centers, with over 60,000 square feet and over 100 gas pumps.

Big? They are HUGE.

So how big is Buc-ee’s? Well, they hold the world record for world’s largest convenience store at 66,335 square feet at their New Braunfels, Texas, location.

Not only are they a world record holder, but they also won the award for “cleanest bathrooms in America” (yes, Cintas held a contest for this).

The New Braunfels location actually has 83 toilets!

In addition to the enormous bathrooms, this mega travel center also has 120 fueling positions, 1,000 parking spots, 64 ice freezers selling 79-cent and 99-cent ice, 31 cash registers, 4 Icee machines, and 80 fountain dispensers.

With such amazing amenities and bathrooms, you might think that the place would be overrun with semi and commercial trucks, but Buc-ee’s is off-limits to over-the-road truckers, so don’t worry about battling the big rigs.
