But no, sadly it’s not here in the Tampa area. But this one will definitely be a bit closer than Daytona. So if you have a craving for those Beaver Nuggets, head north instead of east. But not quite yet.

The food and shopping is a big draw for many. Buc-ee’s has an enormous selection of brisket, nuts, jerky, fudge, and of course Beaver Nuggets. It’s a sweet corn puff snack that’s similar to caramel corn according to the report above. As for shopping, if you’ve been on the search for a Buc-ee’s Beaver onesie, you’re in luck. The other big thing Buc-ee’s is known for? It’s bathrooms. They promise to be spotless and the nicest bathrooms of any gas station you’ve ever seen. Right now there are only 2 Buc-ee's locations in Florida. There's one in Daytona and one in Saint Augustine. But that's about to change.

The third Buc-ee’s location in Florida has been given the green light, according to WFTV. The documents indicate the location will be just east of I-75 near Highway 326 in Ocala. Over 32 acres will be rezoned for the project, enough room for 120 gas pumps. There's no word on when the work will begin. [Source: WFTV]

I don't get over to Daytona often, but when I was there for a concert, I had to check out the famous Buc-ee's Beaver Nuggets. I'd heard all about the Beaver Nuggets, beef jerky, fudge and other Buc-ee's goodies everyone raves about.

Buc-ee's is like an enormous Walmart. To call it just a gas station is really wrong. It's more like a Walmart with a lot of gas pumps... over 100! And Buc-ee's has lots of stuff to ruin what's left of your New Year's resolution. Here were the things that caught my attention during my first visit at their Daytona location.

Beaver Nuggets

OK I get the Beaver Nuggets thing now. I have a sweet tooth so I get the hype.


Jackpot!

This-was-my-favorite-purchase.jpg

This was my favorite purchase. I like the regular Beaver Nuggets that are sweet. But these were phenomenal.


FRIED Apple Pies

Im-always-down-for-fried-apple-pie.jpg

I'm always down for fried apple pie. It's the biggest menu item I miss at McDonald's. Whenever I get to visit a country where they still serve them like England, it's a must.


Not just sweets...

Brisket-was-decent.jpg

The brisket was decent but honestly not outstanding. I don't think I'd order it a second time.


Fresh chips?

OK-but-not-memorable.jpg

These were OK but not really memorable. I'd pass on these too.


Didnt try the fudge but it looked good.
