Americans have voted the New Braunfels' Buc-ee's washroom as America's best. This branch of the Texas convenience store chain is said to "have a bathroom as big as Texas and some of the most spotless loos in the Lone Star State, making this pit stop perfect for any road warrior and fit for a king." And with 83 toilets to choose from, guests even get their very own throne.

"Buc-ee's brand of convenience stores knows firsthand that clean bathrooms mean big business," Cintas' Market Development Representative, Gary Gonzaba told onlookers as he presented Buc-ee's co-owner, Arch 'Beaver' Aplin, with the top honor earlier this week. His colleague John Engel, Cintas' Senior Marketing Manager, added:

"At the core, this contest is intended to recognize public restroom facilities that 'serve' local citizens, and Buc-ee's is the essence of hospitality when you consider it's an easily accessible, family friendly, well-maintained, convenient and free facility."

Buc-ee's was a fan favorite in Cintas' annual contest, beating out the other top nine contenders to take the crown in this year's competition - the 11th in the series. America voted Arizona's Liberty Market the No. 2 place to go, No. 1 Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel in Chicago took third, California's Hollywood Bowl followed close in fourth-place and Lane Stadium at Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Virginia came fifth.

Buc-ee's and Liberty Market will receive the coveted America's Best Restroom winner and runner-up plaque of recognition from Cintas and secure their place in the America's Best Restroom Hall of Fame.

Buc-ee's 68,000-square-foot service stop plays host to thousands of vehicles a day with passengers filling up on fuel, grabbing food and using the facilities.

"We invite everyone to stop in to try out our award winning restrooms," said Buc-ee's co-owner, Beaver Aplin. "Maybe Buc-ee's will be our city's new claim to fame, the 'Taj Ma-Stall' of Texas ... a tourist attraction in and of itself," he said jokingly.

The 2012 contest attracted nominations from a wide range of businesses, including restaurants, hotels, concert venues, football stadiums, night clubs and museums. Ten finalists were selected based on cleanliness, visual appeal, innovation, functionality and unique design elements.
