Buc-ee’s, the popular, Texas-based mega gas station chain will be opening its first-ever locations in: Nebraska, Ohio (April 2026), Wisconsin (2027), North Carolina (2027), Arizona (June 2026), Arkansas (June 2026), Louisiana (2027), and Kansas (2027), according to multiple local news reports.

When reached by Fast Company for confirmation, the chain had “no comment.”

Founded in 1982, Buc-ee’s, which has a cult-like following, is known for its large scale gas stations and convenience stores, which include, as Fast Company previously reported, numerous gas pumps (more than 100 in some locations), award-winning bathrooms, and a fan-favorite BBQ brisket sandwich. (Its merch is even sold at Walmart.) In recent years, the chain has expanded across the southeastern U.S. from its home base in Texas, spanning west to east from Kentucky to South Carolina.

Buc-ee’s, which currently lists some 69 locations nationwide, if you include their car washes, are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and the company holds the record for the world’s largest convenience store, which is in Luling, Texas, and is a sprawling, 75,593 square feet.

The chain plans to open a fourth store in Florida, which, upon opening, will then be the chain’s largest one to date, with 76,245 square feet, including: 120 gas pumps, 18 charging states, and more than 700 parking locations, according to AL.com (Alabama.com).

Buc-ee’s, a privately held company, was one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies in the dining category in 2024.
