Okay, we need to talk about Buc-ee’s. Now, for most, this convenience store chain is pretty much all over the South (the chain is based in Texas), and most people make an effort to stop at a Buc-ee’s during every road trip.
For those not in the know, though, Buc-ee’s is legendary for a very good reason. Buc-ee’s stores are always super clean, they have unique souvenirs AND food, they’re HUGE, and they’re something of a road trip destination in and of themselves. Well, for those traveling through Florida, we’ve got some great news: more Buc-ee’s locations are coming to the state.
According to WFLA, Buc-ees’ just opened its most westernmost location in Goodyear, Arizona. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg because Buc-ee’s also plans to open dozens of new stores across the country in 16 states. In Florida, that includes four NEW locations. That includes two that will open next year in Fort Pierce and Tallahassee. Two more Florida locations are planned for later, including Ocala and Port Charlotte.
That means if you’re road tripping through Florida, you’ll have more Buc-ee’ stops to make when you need to take a break, grab some snacks, or use the restroom (or all of the above). Other states getting Buc-ee’s stores include Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin. Buc-ee’s is spreading almost everywhere, so many of you will have a chance to visit one within the next few years or so.
It takes anywhere from 18 to 24 months to build a Buc-ee’s travel center once construction begins, so expect these new locations over the next two to three years.
We’ll keep an eye out for more travel news, so check back with AllEars again soon for more…
