Texas A&M University has become the first university in the country to partner with Buc-ee’s to bring more than 45 of the Texas convenience-store brand’s most popular products to three locations on the university’s main campus in College Station, Texas.
Beginning Aug. 20, Buc-ee’s favorites such as Beaver Nuggets, beef jerky, snacks and branded merchandise will be available at Aggie Express Commons, Aggie Express Hullabaloo and Creekside Market through Aggie Dining.
Texas A&M is now the first and only location in the country to offer Buc-ee’s food and merchandise outside of its popular travel centers. This one-of-a-kind partnership offers students, faculty, staff and visitors a taste of Buc-ee’s on campus.
“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 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.”
Texas A&M was named one of the World’s Most Innovative Companies for 2025 by Fast Company Magazine, the only university on the list. Aggie Dining provides dining services across the main campus, including its three dining halls and more than 50 other dining locations. Aggie Dining is operated by Chartwells Higher Education, Chester, New York, a division of Charlotte, North Carolina-based foodservice company Compass Group.
