Could A Buc-ee’s Store Be Coming To South Louisiana?
Buc-ee's lovers, LISTEN UP! You could be getting your biggest wish soon as it is being rumored that a new Buc-ee's location could be coming to South Louisiana.
What is Buc'ee's?
Bucc-ee's is an American-owned convenience store chain owned by "Arch Beaver." Along with its fuel, snacks (especially beef jerky and candies), brisket, baked goods, tacos, fresh sandwiches, souvenirs, and travel gear, the brand is well-recognized for the size of its stores. At its location in Sevierville, Tennessee, as of June 2023, it is the largest gas station globally. The chain is especially well-known for its spotless restrooms, adorable mascot, and policy against 18-wheelers being driven into any of its facilities.
Did You Know?... Buc-ee's currently holds TWO World Records! Yep, that's right! The large convenience store currently holds the record for the largest convenience store in the world at 74,707 square feet, that location is in Sevierville. They also have the world record for the longest car wash. The world’s longest car wash clocks in at 255 feet of conveyor.
There are things that we go into Buc-ee's and just HAVE TO HAVE! Items like fudge, beaver nuggets, beef jerky, and so much more. When you start adding those things up, what price is too much? $20? $50? $75? Think about spending $75 at a gas station, and then multiply that by TEN. Yep, that's what a customer in Texas did. I guess that's why they say everything is bigger in Texas...
Buc-ee's has a little bit of everything in their stores. Did you happen to see a customer a few weeks ago who spent over $700 in the store? CLICK HERE to check that out.
There actually is not a current OPEN Buc-ee's store in Louisiana, but one is currently being built near Ruston, Louisiana. The Ruston Road Buc-ee's is slated to be open in 2025. But, what are the odds we could be getting the popular store here in South Louisiana?
