Buc-ee's Expands to Georgia: New Brunswick Location Opens July 4th!

7156 Hwy 99, Brunswick, Georgia, USA - Buc-ee’s, a beloved Texas-based travel center chain, is spreading its wings even further across the United States. The latest buzz is about their new location opening in Brunswick, Georgia, just in time for the July Fourth weekend. This exciting development marks Buc-ee’s third travel center in Georgia, with a prime spot situated at 7156 Hwy 99, conveniently located off Interstate 95 between Savannah and Jacksonville, Florida. As reported by MySanAntonio, the new store will span an impressive 74,000 square feet and will feature 120 fueling stations, ensuring a top-notch stop for travelers on the go.

What can visitors expect once they pull into this vast establishment? From mouthwatering Texas barbecue to homemade fudge and those irresistible Beaver Nuggets, Buc-ee’s promises a dining experience that caters to all tastes. Additionally, don’t miss out on their fresh pastries and a selection of jerky. The grand opening is anticipated to create over 200 jobs in the local community, further solidifying Buc-ee’s commitment to being a part of its surroundings.

Expanding the Buc-ee’s Family

This latest expansion aligns with Buc-ee’s broader growth strategy. Since its first store opened in 1982 in Lake Jackson, Texas, the brand has diversified beyond its home state. Buc-ee’s began its multi-state expansion in 2019 and now boasts over a dozen stores located outside of Texas. As C-Store Dive highlights, Buc-ee’s has expanded to nine states and has plans to introduce nine additional locations in the coming years.

The journey towards growth hasn’t always been smooth, though. While Buc-ee’s attempts to set up shop in Louisiana and Clarksville, Tennessee were not successful, the brand continues to secure its foothold in other states. In fact, the company is also focused on bolstering its presence in Texas, with an exciting new travel center on the horizon in Amarillo—the first in the Texas Panhandle.

Future Plans on the Horizon

Buc-ee’s is not stopping with its new Georgia opening; ambitious plans for further expansion are underway. The chain is set to debut its first location in Mississippi this spring, offering similar features to the Brunswick store, including 74,000 square feet of space, 120 gas pumps, 24 electric vehicle charging spots, and even a car wash. In North Carolina, Mebane will welcome its first Buc-ee’s by late 2026 or early 2027, creating 225 full-time jobs, as detailed by Convenience.org.

Virginia, Ohio, Arizona, and Arkansas are also on Buc-ee’s map, with respective stores either under construction or in the planning stages. The ambitious expansion plans signal Buc-ee’s intentions to keep growing, crafting an experience that resonates with travelers across the nation.

As we gear up for the July Fourth weekend and the excitement of Buc-ee’s newest opening, it’s clear that this Texas treasure is becoming a staple for families and road-trippers alike. Each new location not only brings a taste of Texas to new places but also creates jobs and contributes to local communities. Who wouldn’t want to stop in for a bite and a fill-up along the way?
