Road trips through San Marcos will be changing a lot for some snack-obsessed drivers. The iconic roadside gas station and store Buc-ee’s will open its new San Marcos travel center on Wednesday, August 12. <\/p>\n
Like other Buc-ee’s locations, this one will sell Texas barbecue, kolaches, fudge, fresh pastries, and packaged snacks like the famous Beaver Nuggets<\/a>, made from puffed cornmeal. There are also 128 fueling positions, and the business will employ more than 200 workers with above-minimum starting pay, benefits, and paid vacation, a press release says.<\/p>\n “The Buc-ee’s mantra is ‘exceed expectations,’ and this San Marcos location is a special step for us in that regard. The San Marcos store will help us provide the ultimate Buc-ee’s experience to all I-35 travelers, north and southbound!” said Stan Beard of Buc-ee’s.<\/p>\n Buc-ee’s, which started in the Houston-area town of Lake Jackson in 1982, is a Texas icon. It has a total of 57 stores in 13 states including Texas.<\/p>\n The San Marcos opening is a bright spot in Buc-ee’s current media coverage, which is currently fixated on a lawsuit. Buc-ee’s has sued<\/a> an Ohio mini-mart for an alleged trademark infringement. The spat even caught the attention<\/a> of comedian and talk show host John Oliver, who discussed it in two episodes of Last Week Tonight With John Oliver that aired July 26<\/a> and August 9. Oliver’s remarks focused on the store logos, but an official Buc-ee’s statement<\/a> takes issue instead with an Ohio Trade Name Registration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Road trips through San Marcos will be changing a lot for some snack-obsessed drivers.
