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.
