First-Ever Buc-ee’s Store in Texas Goes Up in Flames

A fire broke out Monday morning at the first-ever Buc-ee's store in Luling, Texas.

The travel center store, which was built in 2003, was severely damaged by the fire Monday morning.

The good news is the building was not occupied as a new store was built in the area, thus replacing the original store in Texas. If Buc-ee's in Luling, Texas sounds familiar it's because it is the largest Buc-ee's store in the country, at 75,000 sq. feet.

It is unclear what started the fire at this point, but according to The Southeast Caldwell County VFD, the blaze was quickly contained. Several fire departments did respond to the fire and the new Buc-ee's that is close by was not damaged by the inferno.

Here are several photos from the scene in Texas.
