Construction on the $38 million Buc-ee’s store northwest of San Antonio is now planned to start on Oct. 1 and be completed in October 2024.
Construction for a new Buc-ee’s Travel Center on Interstate 10 and U.S. Highway 87 in Boerne is planned to start on Oct. 1 and be completed in October 2024.Beavers are known to build a dam in less than 24 hours. It’s taken at least seven years to get the planned mega-travel center with the ball cap-wearing, semi-aquatic rodent mascot going in the city of Boerne.
In 2016, the Boerne City Council and Kendall County entered into economic development agreements with Buc-ee’s, giving the company a 20-year rebate of half their respective shares of sales taxes generated by the store. The uphill climb to start building the 53,000-square-foot store began with delays on a Texas Department of Transportation project at Interstate 10 West, U.S. Highway 87 and State Highway 46.
Known for their spotless restrooms and copious food and beverage options, the super-size convenience stores also often carry a vast inventory of merchandise, including souvenirs, clothing and household items. Buc-ee’s stores typically have 80 to 120 gas pumps and Tesla Superchargers. Anchored by a leafy green plaza with a picturesque gazebo, it stands in sharp contrast to the nearby expressway with its blaring billboards, sprawling car dealerships and soon, a massive travel center sure to draw thousands by the day.
“Our property taxes are not low, and so any way we can diversify the tax base and shift some of that burden to the business community, I think it’s a good thing,” she said.It’s a tradeoff that concerns Alexandria Rudd, who moved to a rural part of the county in 2017. Part of the agreement called for the city and county to pass on their right to purchase a 2.8-acre, TxDOT-owned parcel of land adjacent to the Buc-ee’s site. By law, government entities, including the school district, had first dibs on the surplus property once the highway department completed the overpass project.
