According to Murfreesboro Mayor Shane McFarland, and verified by the company’s media coordinator Crissy Gonzolas, the new Buc-ee’sthat will be located off Interstate 24 at the Joe B. Jackson Parkway exit is expected to open by the end of the year. The much-anticipated travel center will encompass 74,000 square feet and feature 120 fueling stations. The exact opening date is a bit murky. As Rutherford County Breaking News reported about a month ago, the official word was Buc-ee’s will open in December; however, they’ve also been told an earlier date of November. In fact, on July 15th, a report from Murfreesboro Pulse stated the opening date is November 16th. What we know for sure is construction is moving swiftly and Buc-ee’s will open this year.
