COLUMBIA, MO – As Buc-ee’s continues its nationwide expansion, Missouri offers several promising locations beyond the recently announced Springfield site.
Known for its large travel centers and extensive amenities, Buc-ee’s could capitalize on high-traffic areas across the state to serve both locals and travelers.
One logical location is along the I-70 corridor near Columbia.
According to the Missouri Department of Transportation, situated halfway between Kansas City and St. Louis, Columbia is a bustling college town with heavy interstate traffic.
A Buc-ee’s in this area would cater to students, local residents, and travelers making the cross-state journey on one of Missouri’s busiest highways.
According to the Missouri Department of Transporation, the St. Louis metropolitan area also presents a prime opportunity, particularly along I-64 or I-55. These interstates see substantial commuter and tourist traffic, making them ideal spots for a Buc-ee’s location that could serve those heading into or out of the city.
