Buc-ee’s Is Moving Further South!
Buc-ee’s isn’t just a gas station; it’s an experience. The company’s location in Luling, Texas, holds the world record for the largest convenience store. It stands at a whopping 75,593 square feet. To put that into perspective, the average Walgreens store is about 13,000 square feet. Buc-ee’s is huge and offers customers a chance to refuel and recharge while on a road trip, or just grab a delicious snack if they’re in the neighborhood. The company currently operates more than 50 locations in the United States. Soon, the footprint will expand even further south.
Buc-ee’s Plans to Open a New Location in Florida
According to the Sebastian Daily, the new Buc-ee’s will open in Fort Pierce in 2027. The new store plans include 120 gas pumps, 18 electric vehicle charging stations, and more than 700 customer parking spots. The fan-favorite stop boasts the cleanest restrooms, a delicious jerky selection, tons of merchandise, and a place for customers to take a break.
“Ever since our inception in 1982, we have been committed to providing a clean, friendly, and in-stock experience for our customers. Regardless of where you may find us, if the store is big or small, near or far, the mission remains the same,” the Buc-ee’s website says.
Many hoped this new Buc-ee’s might be the biggest to date, but the company recently shot down those rumors.
“Contrary to recent reporting that the proposed project in St. Lucie, FL, will be our largest store, Luling, TX, is, and will remain, the largest Buc-ee’s Travel Center in our fleet,” Stan Beard of Buc-ee’s said. “Planning departments throughout the country have different parameters for reporting building sizes in official planning documents.”
“I don’t care if it’s the biggest, just start building. It’s a 10-minute drive from my house lol,” a fan joked.
