The largest Buc-ee's stores, ranked
Only stores with a published floor size are ranked here. Several newer travel centers are built to roughly the same 74,000-square-foot plan, so the gap between the top stores is small.

What is the biggest Buc-ee's in the world?
The biggest Buc-ee's is in Luling, Texas, on I-10 between San Antonio and Houston. It opened on June 10, 2024 at about 75,000 square feet, narrowly passing the 74,707-square-foot store in Sevierville, Tennessee. Because no other chain builds convenience stores this large, it is also usually described as the world's largest convenience store.
The largest store in Texas
Luling is also the largest in Texas. The next biggest Texas stores are the new San Marcos travel center and New Braunfels, both on I-35.
Big stores on the way
Most announced stores follow the same large format: Kansas City, Kansas and Mebane, North Carolina are planned at about 74,000 square feet, and Oak Creek, Wisconsin at about 73,370 square feet with 120 pumps. See new Buc-ee's locations.
How big is a typical Buc-ee's?
Size depends on the era a store was built in. The original stores around Lake Jackson and Freeport are small neighborhood convenience stores. The highway travel centers built since 2003 are far larger, and the newest ones are usually around 74,000 square feet with about 120 fuel pumps.
