A&M is now the first and only location in the country to offer Buc-ee’s
food and merchandise outside of its famous travel centers. This one-of-a-kind
partnership offers students, faculty, staff and visitors a taste of Buc-ee’s
without ever leaving campus.
While
the news will be celebrated by current and future students, faculty, staff
and campus visitors, a well-known former student is also excited.
“As
an Aggie, it’s incredibly special to bring Buc-ee’s to the heart of the
campus,” said Arch
“Beaver” Aplin III, founder and CEO of Buc-ee’s and a proud member
of the Texas A&M Class of 1980. “We’re thrilled to share a little piece
of Buc-ee’s with the Aggie Family every day.”
This
collaboration continues Aggie Dining’s mission to bring innovative and
student-loved brands to campus, enhancing convenience and campus life.
