There is one Texas attraction that’s drawn some unexpected attention from World Cup visitors – Buc’ees. <\/p>\n

The Trinity Metro even offers a 20-minute shuttle from Downtown Fort Worth to the North Fort Worth Buc-ee’s location.<\/p>\n

The massive gas station is known for its catchy billboards, brisket station, and Beaver Nuggets.<\/p>\n

A German fan, who goes by Freddy on X<\/a>, appears to have gotten the most attention online with his posts about the gas station chain Buc-ee\u2019s.<\/p>\n

“It is really just something that if you’re not from Texas, you hear about it and want to experience it. So we thought, let’s try something new,” Richard Andreski, president\/CEO of Trinity Metro, said. “We\u2019re not sure how many people will ride, but we\u2019re going to learn some things.”<\/p>\n

During the World Cup, Trinity Metro will be rolling out Cowtown Visitor Shuttles <\/a>to popular tourist spots.<\/p>\n

Destinations include the Fort Worth Zoo and Botanic Garden, the Arlington Entertainment District and a shopping trip to the Tanger Outlets and Buc-ee’s.<\/p>\n

An all-day pass runs $10 to $20. Cowtown shuttles run on non-match days every 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the route taken.<\/p>\n

“It’s really amazing. They’re not only like a gas station, but they’re like a supermarket,” said Daisuke Miyaushi, a Japan fan visiting from Chicago. “So it’s really an amazing experience for us.”<\/p>\n

NBC 5 spotted several tourists checking out the super-sized store, including fans from Japan, who played the Netherlands to a 2-2 draw on Sunday at Dallas Stadium.<\/p>\n

“Maybe we spent too much, I think,” Miyaushi said while laughing.<\/p>\n
