"If you're driving on a Texas highway and saw a brightly colored caricature pulling you in, you may be at Buc-ee's, or you're at the Texan. While bite-sized in comparison to the Beaver branded gas station, the Texan has drawn comparisons to Buc-ee's for its similar clean bathrooms, branded merch, grab-and-go meals, massive fountain drinks, and multitude of snacks. First opened in Yorktown in 2008, the Texan has expanded to 16 gas stations between San Antonio and Houston, notably opening in small towns Buc-ee's hasn't devoured yet. Unlike Buc-ee's, the Texan welcomes truck drivers, offers restaurant style booths and tables, and sells lottery tickets. So if you're not wanting to eat in your car, need a place to stretch your legs, and maybe you're feeling lucky, the Texan is an ideal location for your next rest stop."
