Buc-ee’s, the beloved Texas-based chain known for its massive convenience stores, clean restrooms, and a wide array of snacks and merchandise, has just unveiled its latest and largest location yet. This new store, located in Sevierville, Tennessee, marks a significant milestone for the brand, further establishing Buc-ee’s as a cultural phenomenon and a must-visit destination for travelers across the United States.

The Sevierville store, which officially opened its doors to the public on August 7, 2024, spans a whopping 74,000 square feet, making it the largest Buc-ee’s location to date. This massive outpost surpasses the previous record-holder in New Braunfels, Texas, which was a sprawling 66,335 square feet. The new store features over 120 fuel pumps, a car wash, and an extensive selection of Buc-ee’s famous products, including its signature Beaver Nuggets, freshly made fudge, and an impressive array of BBQ offerings.

The location of the store is strategically placed at the gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains, one of the most visited national parks in the country. This placement is not only ideal for Buc-ee’s but also a boon for the millions of tourists who flock to the area each year. The store is expected to become a major attraction in its own right, drawing in both local residents and travelers who are passing through.

Arch “Beaver” Aplin III, the founder and owner of Buc-ee’s, expressed his excitement about the new location. “We are thrilled to bring Buc-ee’s to Sevierville and to offer our guests an even larger space to enjoy all that Buc-ee’s has to offer. Our goal has always been to create a fun and welcoming environment for travelers, and we believe this new store will do just that. We’re proud to be part of this community and look forward to serving the people of Tennessee.”

The opening of this new store is part of Buc-ee’s broader expansion strategy, which has seen the company steadily increase its footprint outside of Texas. In recent years, Buc-ee’s has opened locations in states like Alabama, Georgia, and Florida, and it shows no signs of slowing down. The company’s unique blend of Southern hospitality, vast selection of products, and larger-than-life stores has earned it a loyal following, and its expansion is being met with widespread enthusiasm.

As Buc-ee’s continues to grow, it remains committed to its core values of providing clean restrooms, friendly service, and a memorable shopping experience. The Sevierville location is a testament to this commitment, offering visitors a glimpse into what makes Buc-ee’s a truly iconic American brand.
