Ever since the popular convenience store, Buc-ee’s, opened its first location in Colorado, I’ve been patiently waiting a chance to check it out for myself. A week ago if finally happened.
Where is the Colorado Buc-ee’s?
The Colorado location is in Johnstown, right off Interstate-25, roughly around twenty minutes north of Loveland.
How long has it been open?
The Johnstown location originally opened on March 18th, 2024, so it’s not quite a year old yet. It’s pretty big for your average gas station at a whopping74,000 square feet. It is equipped with 116 fueling positions and 12 EV charging stations.
All of that is cool, but not why I was really interested in going.
Buc-ee’s is famous for their Texas barbeque, jerky, pastries and other assorted foodstuffs (including their Beaver Nuggets, which I will admit, I forgot to try). As a jerky lover though, I did purchase five different flavors of beef jerky and honestly, I’d be hard pressed to pick a favorite. I got Korean BBQ, Bohemian Garlic, Cherry Maple, Sweet and Spicy and Teriyaki.
