It seems that a new Buc-ee’s location has opened in Sevierville, Tennessee, off of I-40, just in time for the 4th of July. Buc-ee’s is a well-known gas station chain in the southern United States, particularly in Texas. The newly opened location is reported to be the largest gas station in the world. Buc-ee’s is known for its large stores that resemble big box stores rather than typical convenience stores. This particular Buc-ee’s spans 74,000 square feet and is staffed by 350 friendly employees. The facility includes not only a gas station with 120 pumps, but also a full barbecue restaurant and large selection of snacks. In case you’re wondering, the restrooms are as spacious or more than you need. A notable feature is that semis unfortunately are not allowed at this location, making it more accessible for regular drivers.
The world’s largest Buc-ee’s is located in Sevierville, Tennessee. It has a size of 74,707 square feet, making it the largest convenience store in the world, according to Buc-ees. While another Buc-ee’s in Luling, Texas is also massive and will eventually become the world’s largest, the Sevierville location currently holds the title, according to Buc-ees.
