Everything is bigger in Texas, and no, I'm not just talking about the next Dallas Cowboys failure in the playoffs.
Fans of Buc-ee's — the Disney World of gas stations — will now have another spot to add to their road trips, with the company opening the world's largest convenience store in Luling, Texas.
For those who somehow don't know about Buc-ee's, let me explain. It's not just any run-of-the-mill gas station. No, it's an absolute behemoth of a store with a cult following, renowned for its impossibly clean bathrooms — seriously, you could eat off the floor in there … maybe — delicious food and drinks — may I recommend the candied cashews and breakfast burritos? — and more merchandise than Trump's presidential campaign.
The new Luling location is a massive 75,000 square feet, bigger than the Tennessee Buc-ee's that opened last year by about 300 square feet. It also has 120 fuel pumps for those who can still afford gas these days.
Watch these very excited news anchors introduce a segment with an ecstatic customer who came to the grand opening because she "serves a God who loves us all and cherishes our joy," which is apparently synonymous with Buc-ee's:
Since its inception in 2003, Buc-ee's has spread like wildfire across the U.S., with 50 locations in total and 36 of those in Texas alone. There are also Buc-ee's locations in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, and even Colorado, and they are also breaking ground on their first locations in Virginia and Mississippi.
They're even planning to conquer Arizona and North Carolina soon.
Remember: it's more than just a pit stop; it's a pilgrimage.
