Buc-ee’s is a beloved chain of travel centers that got its start in Lake Jackson, Texas, back in 1982. Known for its sprawling convenience stores, spotless restrooms, and armies of fuel pumps, Buc-ee’s has become a must-stop for road trippers across the South and beyond. With more than 45 locations across multiple states, and more on the way, the brand continues to grow its roadside empire.
The Buc-ee’s in Amarillo, Texas, opened in December 2024 and marks the chain’s first location in the Texas Panhandle. It’s also just the second Buc-ee’s conveniently located near Route 66 (the first was in Springfield, Missouri), making it a natural stop for travelers cruising the Mother Road.
