TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A fourth Florida Buc-ee’s location is a step closer to becoming reality.
The gas station chain submitted plans for its proposed St. Lucie County store on Tuesday, according to county records .
According to the proposal, Buc-ee’s is aiming to build the gas station “at the southeast corner of Indrio Road and Interstate 95 to take advantage of a prime location in North St. Lucie County.”
The plans will be reviewed by two committees before county commissioners get to weigh in. A St. Lucie County spokesperson told NBC affiliate WPTV the process could take months.
If approved by county officials, the new location will be the fourth Buc-ee’s to open in Florida. Those looking to get their “Beaver Nuggets” fix can visit the existing St. Augustine and Daytona Beach stores.
A third location was approved along I-75 in northern Marion County. The company says it will be the world’s largest Buc-ee’s location with over 100 gas pumps when it opens next year.
