The grand opening of a gas station and convenience store isn't usually newsworthy but for those in the know, Buc-ee’s is a cultural icon — a sprawling shrine to Texas food, clean bathrooms and the friendliest cartoon beaver. Search for “Buc-ee’s” on YouTube and you’ll find hundreds of videos of fans eating their way through the store, admiring its size and decking themselves out head-to-toe in merch.
There’s almost always a middle station called the Texas Round Up serving brisket, sausage and smoked turkey sandwiches. Buc-ee's takes its barbecue so seriously that it hired Randy Pauly, an eight-title champion of the World's Championship Bar-B-Que Contest at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, as the company-wide pit master.
The first Colorado Bu-cee’s is located at 5201 Nugget Road on the southwest corner of I-25 and County Road 48 and has 116 fueling stations and 12 EV charging stations. When it opens, it will be tied for the largest convenience store in the world at 74,000 square feet — at least until a bigger Buc-ee’s opens in Luling, Texas.“We were looking to expand our footprint and we searched for places that are easy to work with and employer-friendly markets.
It staffed 100 percent of the roles in a one-day job fair and the new employees have been in an intensive training program since mid-February. Each Buc-ee’s store gets roughly thirty days from “key day” to opening day. “We bring in personnel from all over the country to come in and train the new associates, set up the new store,” Smith explains.
