USA: Buc-ee’s to break its own record with its largest store yet
Representatives of the retailer have confirmed that its travel center set to be built in Tennessee will be its biggest location ever built.
After announcing its expansion into the state of Tennessee, retailer Buc-ee’s has confirmed its first store in the state will be its largest one yet. Company representatives have confirmed that the new location set to be built in Sevier County will break the world record of the biggest convenience store in the world, which they already hold thanks to its location in New Braunfels.
In a news report by the media outlet WHNT News 19 it was detailed that the new site will be a 74,000-square-foot flagship Buc-ee’s Family Travel Center. Throughout 250 feet the location will offer a total of 120 fuel pumps as well as EV charging stations and car wash.
The future site, which was named Project 407 in honor of its Exit 407 in Sevierville location, is known as the “Gateway to Adventure”. According to a release from Kituwah LLC and Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, the company is exploring additional development possibilities such as a world-class golf attraction, a go-cart facility and a distillery experience.
“It is not a coincidence that we chose The 407 as our first big store location outside of Texas. We will be the proverbial ‘welcome sign’ at the front door of the exceptional travel experience that the Smoky Mountains, Sevierville, and Sevier County has to offer. You won’t forget your first visit to Buc-ee’s and it won’t be your last! We are thrilled to share our over-the-top customer experience and be a pivotal part of the Kituwah and EBCI vision for the Gateway to Adventure,” said Stan Beard, Director of Real Estate for Buc-ee’s, according to the news site.
According to the company’s website, the current holder of the world’s largest convenience store record is Buc-ee’s site at New Braunfels, Texas, with 66,335 square feet.
