HOUSTON – Florida is getting a taste of Texas flavor with their first-ever Buc-ee’s. In a news release Thursday, Buc-ee’s said its doors will open for the first time on Feb. 22 at the new location in St. Augustine, near Jacksonville. Stan Beard, director of real estate, said in a statement Thursday that the owners chose this particular location due to the proximity of beaches and walkable atmosphere bringing convenience to beachgoers in Florida. Construction for a second location in Daytona Beach is underway and is expected to open their doors next month, the news release said. Buc-ee’s also said it is also opening a new location in South Carolina, slated to open in 2022.

HOUSTON – North Carolina may see what the hype is about when it comes to the beloved Texas chain Buc-ee’s. The company is scouting a possible location in Efland, North Carolina to build in a 500,000 square-foot mixed-use development, according to a representative for the company. The project isn’t final, but if approved, the Efland location would be the first Buc-ee’s in North Carolina, which, according to the company, would create hundreds of jobs for area residents. Jeff Nadalo, general counsel for Buc-ees, shared a statement with KPRC that read, in part, “If built, customers can expect the same great experience provided at all Buc-ee’s locations, including great barbecue, freshly prepared pastries, breads, and cookies, clean award-winning restrooms, a wide selection of unique merchandise, and of course, more than 120 fueling positions.”
