Our client
Founded in 1982 by Arch “Beaver” Aplin III and Don Wasek, Buc-ee’s is the Texas convenience store that lives up to the adage “everything’s bigger in Texas.” From the earliest days of the company, Aplin and Wasek were determined to create a new kind of convenience experience—one that consistently delivered on the promise of clean bathrooms, fully-stocked shelves, and welcoming (better paid) employees. This approach paid off, and Buc-ee’s has grown to include over 30 locations throughout Texas, with further expansion into Florida and Alabama planned for the future.
Project highlights
Their challenge
The Buc-ee’s brand in Texas needed an engineering partner they could rely on to deliver excellent engineering design solutions across the state. The stores combine a variety of functions including gas pumps, restrooms, grocery facilities, and (at many stores) car washes, and each of the stores requires faultless reliability to stay open 24/7.
Our solution
Salas O’Brien has provided mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering for all of Buc-ee’s locations throughout Texas. This work included complete power and control wiring for the gas pumps and MEP for car washes.
The results
Our work for Buc-ee’s in Texas reinforces the brand’s commitment to quality and excellence and helps them stay functional and profitable 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
