Action News Jax , a sister station of Channel 2 Action News , attended a groundbreaking ceremony hosted by Buc-ee’s officials and the Glynn County Board of Commissioners on Monday.

Action News Jax first learned about the new development back in July 2022 when economic leaders approved plans for a large travel center off Hwy 99 on Interstate 95.
Buc-ee’s later confirmed that it would build a 74,000 square-foot location with 120 fuel pumps, making it one of its biggest stores.
