Meeting Point

The Galleria

5085 Westheimer Rd, Houston, TX 77056, USA

What to expect:

Duration: between 10 hours and 11 hours

Buc-ee’s

27700 Katy Fwy, Katy, TX 77494, USA

A trip to the gas station usually warrants more of a hurried waddle to the bathroom than a commemorative TikTok. But most gas stations are not Buc-ee’s.
The Texas-based (and Texas-supersized) gas and convenience store chain offers much more than a place to fuel up and grab a bag of chips. Its devoted fans make regular pilgrimages, sometimes driving hundreds of miles, to stock up on Beaver Nuggets and brisket and merch with its bucktoothed mascot’s smiling face. Even its restrooms are award-winning.
