Wow! What I Saw When I Turned Left Inside Buc-ee’s In Temple, Texas [PICS]
As the saying goes… everything’s bigger in Texas.
Having said that, I’ve never seen a gas station with more than 50 gas pumps.
Then I visited Buc-ee’s.
What is Buc-ee’s?
If you don’t know or have never visited the popular one-stop highway shop that has over 35 Texas locations in Texas, you need to!
You can get everything in Buc-ee’s from gas, to keychains to candles to brisket to goat milk soap and everything in between.
Buc-ee’s Has Expanded
According to their site, Buc-ee’s, not only has multiple locations here in Texas, they have expanded to southern states like Georgia, Alabama, and Florida.
The World’s Largest Buc-ee’s Coming Soon
Later this year, Buc-ee’s has plans to open “The World’s Largest Buc-ee’s” located in Sevierville, Tennesse. It will have 120 fuel pumps, a 250-foot car wash, and 74,000 square feet of indoor shopping.
Yikes!
I’ve Never Turned Left
In almost 7 years, I’ve been here in Texas, I’ve never turned left when I went inside a Buc-ee’s.
I either walk straight to the bathroom or turn right to get water or gummy bears or chocolate almonds. (I get the same thing every time)
But yesterday, I decided to turn left and (I know I’m late) I was mesmerized!
For starters, I never had a reason to turn left.
I’ve visited the one in Waller County, Bastrop, and the Temple location.
Every time I’ve visited Buc-ee’s, I’ve never had a reason to go “shopping” always a bathroom break and then back on the road.
So here are some of the cool things I saw when I turned left at Buc-ee’s in Temple, Texas!
