On the heels of a new Buc-ee's opening in Temple, the well known beaver logo has gone up at a site under construction in the Dallas area.

According to the Dallas Morning News, a Buc-ee's is planned for Interstate 20 at FM 148 in Terrell, about 30 miles east of Dallas. It will be the first Metroplex store for the travel-stop chain famous for its clean restrooms and huge array of retail items.

With construction expected to finish in May, the store could be ready to open in June, The Morning News said.

The chain, which started in 1982 in Lake Jackson, opened its 30th store on April 1 in Temple at Interstate 35 North and Texas 363, according to its Facebook page.

As announced on Facebook, Buc-ee's began hiring employees for the Terrell site in February.

The 60,000-square-foot store will have 84 gas pumps in front, according to The Morning News.

The company describes Buc-ee's as a candy store, deli and gift shop.

In addition to the original Lake Jackson location, the chain's Houston-area stores are in Alvin, Baytown, Cypress, League City, Pearland, Richmond and Texas City.
