Gov. Greg Abbott joined state and local officials Thursday for the ribbon cutting of the newest Bucee's location in San Marcos, where he highlighted the company's economic contributions and expansion across the country.

Abbott delivered remarks and presented a proclamation at the ceremony celebrating the opening of the 74,000-squarefoot store.

"The Texas dream is the result of generations who came before us - the businesses they built, the communities they created, and the legacies they left behind," Abbott said.
