Buc-ee’s is stepping outside its travel centers for the first time, bringing its snacks and merchandise directly to Texas A&M University.

Over 45 of Buc-ee’s signature items; including Beaver Nuggets, beef jerky, snacks, and branded gear,  will be available at three on-campus Aggie Dining outlets. These include Aggie Express Commons, Aggie Express Hullabaloo, and Creekside Market.

The partnership makes Texas A&M the first and only place in the country where the chain’s food and merchandise can be purchased outside the traditional travel center format.

“As an Aggie, it’s incredibly special to bring Buc-ee’s to the heart of the campus,” said Arch “Beaver” Aplin III, founder and CEO of Buc-ee’s and a member of Texas A&M’s Class of 1980. “We’re thrilled to share a little piece of Buc-ee’s with the Aggie Family every day.”

For Aggie Dining, the collaboration reflects its ongoing strategy to introduce student-favorite brands that enhance convenience and campus life. The move also underscores Buc-ee’s willingness to explore new retail channels, marking an expansion of the brand’s presence beyond its highway stops.
