SALEM, OR – As Buc-ee’s continues to expand across the U.S., Oregon could be a logical location for the travel center’s next venture.
Known for its large convenience stores, clean restrooms, and dozens of fuel pumps, Buc-ee’s could cater to both locals and tourists traveling through the state’s major highways.
One prime location is along Interstate 5 near Eugene or Salem, two of Oregon’s largest cities.
According to the Oregon Department of Transportation, I-5 serves as the state’s main north-south corridor, connecting travelers from California to Washington.
A Buc-ee’s along this route would attract long-distance travelers, locals, and tourists heading to popular destinations like Portland or the Oregon coast.
Another promising location is along Interstate 84.
I-84 sees thousands of cars daily and runs through the scenic Columbia River Gorge, according to the Oregon Department of Transportation.
A Buc-ee’s near Hood River or The Dalles could cater to tourists exploring the region.
This route also sees thousands of cars daily, according to the Oregon Department of Transportation.
