Buc-ee’s building new store close to, but not in, Georgia. Here’s where

Buc-ee’s fans couldn’t wait for the new Brunswick location to open last year, especially those around Savannah. Now they already can’t wait for the next one, and while there isn’t much in Georgia news, there is a South Carolina project worth watching.

Is Savannah getting another Buc-ee’s? Where will it be?

Once completed, this would put it just 20-30 miles outside of the Savannah area, depending on where specifically you live. Currently, the nearest is in Brunswick, over 60 miles away.
