On a sunny Wednesday afternoon, January 29, Buc-ee’s founder Arch “Beaver” Aplin III, local officials, and the beloved Buc-ee himself broke ground on what promises to be another iconic travel center in San Marcos, Texas. Scheduled to open on May 26, 2026, this massive 74,000-square-foot location will welcome travelers just off Interstate 35 with Buc-ee’s signature world-class restrooms, Texas-sized snacks, and everything in between.
Speaking at the ceremony, Aplin expressed his excitement about expanding Buc-ee’s presence in the Lone Star State. “We’ve been building out of state a lot recently, but there’s nothing like coming home to Texas,” he shared with attendees. “We are excited to be on this side of the interstate with the southbound traffic, so we think that will be great.”
This new store will be located just 30 minutes from the existing NewBraunfels Buc-ee’s, which spans 66,000 square feet. With its increased size and prime location, the San Marcos Buc-ee’s is poised to become a must-stop destination for road trippers and Texas State University students alike — perfect for a late-night Beaver Nuggets run.
Coming Home to Texas
As proud Texans now living out of state, Karla and I are thrilled about Buc-ee’s continued growth back home. Buc-ee’s has always been a comforting reminder of Texas, and this new San Marcos location will be yet another reason to make the trip back to visit family (and, of course, more Buc-ee’s).
To Arch "Beaver" Aplin III — you keep building them, and we'll keep visiting them!
