“It’s extremely important for us because Texas is our roots,” Smith said. “Bringing it all back home is one of those things that’s extremely prideful.” The Luling travel center is just 1,000 square feet larger than the three next largest Buc-ee’s centers. Sevierville, Tenn., Hillsboro, Texas and Johnstown, Colo. each have 74,000-square-foot Buc-ee’s locations but will be just barely surpassed by the store opening in Luling.The 51st location will open a week after the Luling location opens its doors. Smith said the 53,000-square-foot travel center will be in Smiths Grove, Ken.
