Dam has broken, the Beaver is headed to Boerne

Get ready to grab some Beaver Nuggets because Buc-ee’s is coming to town.

That was the message sent Monday by the City Council after a 4-0 vote cleared the way for development following years of back-and-forth on whether to allow the iconic gas stop known for its buck-toothed beaver mascot, brisket and clean restrooms to set up shop.

The amended agreement approved by the council includes a limit on the number of fueling stations and the height of signage, a 9-acre buffer zone and security fencing, a 350-foot deceleration lane and dark-sky compliance –– among other concessions.
