I'm in the midst of re-working the Bastrop page on Carbon-izer.com (you can see Version 6.0 here as it appeared during this writing). Buc-ee's made its appearance at Highway 21 and Highway 71 in May 2012...but it wasn't the first time. While it's true Buc-ee's #28 opened in 2012, Buc-ee's #11 opened in 1998...at the corner of Highway 21 and Highway 71 (where the highways split on the WEST side of town).
Sadly, I don't have any pictures of it when Buc-ee's was in operation, but the Exxon here at 1273 Highway 71 West was what could be termed as a Baby Beaver Buc-ee's and like these earlier stores were extremely small for Buc-ee's standards (4000 square feet) and had a diesel area for 18-wheelers (Buc-ee's forbids 18-wheelers). The Buc-ee's here was short-lived, only operating from 1998 to 2000 before it was sold, though I'm pretty sure it was always an Exxon. As of November 2022 it has a "Cooper's Express" fried chicken program.
