It’s official: the 255-ft.-long drive-thru car wash at Buc-ee’s’s new Katy location off I-10 at Cane Island Pkwy. now qualifies as the longest in the world, according to Guinness World Records. Traversing the tunnel takes cars about 5 minutes, during which time in-wash light effects entertain. Don’t have a dirty car of your own in Katy? There are videos.

Not in the record books: the more than 120 gas pumps and the 56,000-sq.-ft. store, fully stocked with Beaver Nuggets, also at 27700 Katy Fwy. An onsite backup generator is wired up to the building and the car wash.

Buc-ee’s World Record
Suburbanites are such such size queens.
now katy finally has something to brag about.
Another Buc-Ee’s coverage gap filled. Heading west on I-10 it was always weird that you had to drive all the way to Luling or Bastrop (both about 150 miles away) before you hit a Buc-Ee’s, whereas there’s one within 100 miles of Houston on I-10 eastbound, US290, and both directions on I-45. Now they just need one on US59 headed into East Texas.
this seems like a perfect date night.
Buccees tried to enforce a case to allow it to turn it’s employees into indentured servants and lost. It took a lot of suffering and stress for the former employee to win her freedom from buccees. Google Buccees Slavery. This is so messed up, their business practices are grotesque.
Yes I’ve worked for buccees, great pay but terrible work environment! They basically have clocked in slaves, just doesn’t appear that way to the highly satisfied customers.
How did you get out of buccees’ retention pay?
The Katy Buccees is like the Central Market of gas stations.
