Buc-ee's up for incentives to build big travel center in San Marcos
SAN MARCOS, Texas (Austin Business Journal) -- Buc-ee's Ltd. is eyeing a 74,000-square-foot family travel center in San Marcos, which would be as big as some grocery stores.
The Lake Jackson-based company — known for its highway food, rows of gas pumps, clean bathrooms and Texas-sized footprints — on Feb. 20 will be considered by the San Marcos City Council for incentives to open on the southbound frontage of I-35 south of Yarrington Road, according to Council documents.
The 22-acre site is slated to include 120 gas pumps and the capacity for between 100 and 175 electric vehicle charging spots, according to the documents. The company would be required to invest at least $50 million in the site and create 175 full-time jobs, with an average wage of $43,855 and benefits, although officials reported between 200 and 225 employees can be expected.
