Buc-ees Has Picked Its 4th Florida Location
Buc-ees fans, another Florida location is on the way. If you love those Beaver Nuggets, unfortunately you’re going to have to fill up the gas tank at some other station because it’s not going to be in the Tampa area.
What’s so special about Buc-ees?
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. Check out my pics from my first visit to a Buc-ee’s below for my tip regarding the Beaver nuggets. The plain original flavor is good. But the Bold n’ Spicy ones rocked my world.
It’s not just food at Buc-ee’s. If you’ve been on the search for a Buc-ee’s Beaver onesie, you’re in luck. There’s a ton of t-shirts and other forms of Buc-ee’s merch to choose from. Their fans are passionate and love to show it. The other big thing Buc-ee’s is known for? Their bathrooms! They promise to be spotless and the nicest bathrooms of any gas station you’ve ever seen.
Buc-ee’s Florida plans
Buc-ee’s got their start in 1982. Right now, there are only 2 Buc-ee’s locations in Florida. There’s one in Daytona and one in Saint Augustine. A third location has yet to open but that’ll be in Ocala soon. It’ll be just east of I-75 near Highway 326. The Ocala Buc-ees will have 120 gas pumps and 28 EV spots. It’ll be the largest convenience store in the world when it does open.
The 4th Buc-ees location will be in North St. Lucie County, according to ABC Action News. It’ll be off I-95 on Indrio Road near Fort Pierce. That’s not much good to us. It’s a 2-1/2 hour drive away from the Tampa area. Where would you put one around here? I have to think the Plant City or Lakeland area would be ideal for them. [Source: ABC]
