Two New Buc-ee’s Just Opened This Week

Watch out for Beaver Nuggets! Buc-ee’s just opened two brand-new locations this week: One in Georgia, and the first one ever in the state of Virginia.

USA Today reports that on June 30, a Buc-ee’s location opened its doors for the first time to the public at 6500 Buc-ee’s Boulevard in Mount Crawford, Va.

7NewsDC was on hand for the huge celebration, where a Buc-ee’s pit master is the grand marshal. He comes to the doors, and as they open automatically, he says, “Are you ready? All right, let’s do this!”

Then you see a giant group of people just pour into the 75,000-square-foot location to check out everything from the bathrooms to the BBQ brisket.

The second Buc-ee’s to open this week is at 6900 Highway 99 in Brunswick, Ga. The grand opening for this Buc-ee’s location is set for Tuesday (June 1).

Including these two brand-new locations, Buc-ee’s footprint expands to 54 locations across 11 different states. Texas, being the original home of Buc-ee’s, has a whopping 36 locations all by itself.

Here are the states that already have Buc-ee’s, along with the number of locations in each state:

1. Alabama (4)
2. Colorado (1)
3. Florida (2)
4. Georgia (3)
5. Kentucky (2)
6. Mississippi (1)
7. Missouri (1)
8. South Carolina (1)
9. Tennessee (2)
10. Texas (36)
11. Virginia (1)

If you have never been inside a Buc-ee’s, boy, are you in for a treat. If you think that it’s just a gas station, you are mistaken. Each Buc-ee’s location is almost a city in itself.

They feature giant car washes, around 100 gas pumps, to-die-for BBQ that is sliced in front of you and thousands of other food and drink items that will make you a believer after just one visit.

Just a warning, though: It can be a little overwhelming to walk into a Buc-ee’s due to its sheer size and the huge number of items it offers. What was supposed to be a quick gas stop can easily turn into a couple of lost hours of wandering around aimlessly.
