The building in Luling, which is east of San Antonio along I-10, caught fire around 10:30 a.m. Monday, according to Southeast Caldwell County VFD.

According to KSAT, the fire was extinguished around noon.

The old Buc-ee’s building was built in 2003 and was in the process of being demolished after a brand new travel center opened last month on an adjacent property.

The new travel stop spans 75,000 square feet, making it the largest Buc-ee’s in the country, according to KSAT. Officials say the new travel stop was not affected by the fire.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
