World’s largest Buc-ee’s opened in Texas on Monday. Look inside the new travel center

Buc-ee’s just opened the largest travel center in the world — again — in Luling, about 51 miles south of Austin. At a whopping 75,000 square feet, it’s roughly 1.5 times as big as an NFL football field.

The giant Buc-ee’s is an upgrade from the brand’s first-ever travel center, built in 2003. The center will feature 120 fuel pumps, as well as thousands of snack and meal options. It will also create at least 200 jobs, according to the release. The new store will be located at 10070 I-10.
