When you're in Texas, there's no pitstop like the one at Buc-ee's. They are taking the state by storm and folks love it. Tired travelers search for miles for the sight of that cartoon beaver mascot. Buc-ee's has it all from delicious food to great gifts and tasty treats. I personally know folks who could spend hours in a Buc-ee's if you'd let them.

Why not? That's the magic. Once you visit one, nothing else will compare. For example, Buc-ee's in New Braunfels Texas holds the world record for the largest convenience store. It's an impressive 66,335 square feet. It also holds the world record for the longest car wash on a 255-foot conveyor.

You'll find everything from comfort foods to buckets of bacon grease and everything in between. According to Southern Living, Buc-ee's has some delightfully southern items that you must not miss.

Beef Jerky

To me, there's nothing, I mean nothing that's better than beef jerky on a road trip. It's my absolute favorite and Buc-ee's has plenty to choose from. A full variety of Texas-made jerky.

So, the next time that you're road-tripping and you see that giant beaver in the sky, make sure to stop in. Not only does Buc-ee's have the cleanest restrooms around, but you're sure to find something you love. After all, I call Buc-ee's the Disney World of convenience stores.

It's true, folks go nuts for their Buc-ee's. Take my friend for example. He recently visited the store on his vacation. Needless to say, he had a great time. Keep scrolling to check out his pictures.
