Calling all Aggie entrepreneurs, Buc-ee's owner, Arch 'Beaver' Aplin III, is bringing the Aplin Center to TAMU to help future business owners.
According to the university, the Aplin Center will provide new university programs in hospitality, retail studies, and food product development. This facility will house product development laboratories and food tasting centers.
"Arch 'Beaver' Aplin is a true visionary and one of the most creative entrepreneurs I have known," Texas A&M President Dr. M. Katherine Banks said."He remains connected to his university, speaking to many students who share his passion for business and product development. Through this generous gift, he is creating a living, learning laboratory that will provide transformational opportunities for our students.
Aplin, one of the school's most successful entrepreneurs, said Banks' vision of a world-class hospitality entrepreneurship program is"just what Texas A&M needs and I'm proud to have an opportunity to be involved." "We want to create a learning, gathering space on the A&M campus that exemplifies hospitality," Aplin said."A place where people come together. A place where the Aggie culture can thrive, a happy place."
Aplin's $50 million contribution to build the Aplin Center is one of the largest gifts A&M has received from a single donor, the university said.
