TEMPLE – The Temple Economic Development Corporation and the City of Temple announced that Buc-ee’s will build the company’s thirtieth travel center in Texas on a 17.5-acre tract on NW Loop 363 in north Temple. The over 60,000-sf travel center will be the first Buc-ee’s located north of Austin.

Buc-ee’s will make an approximately $16 million capital investment in the project. The company will hire approximately 150 full-time employees at a starting salary of $11.50 per hour, according to Beaver Aplin, Buc-ee’s founder and CEO. It typically takes about one year to complete such projects.

The Temple EDC and the City of Temple both approved incentive agreements for Buc-ee’s on April 18.
