Buc-ee’s Expands with New Locations in Georgia and Virginia
Buc-ee's, the Texas-based travel center chain recognized for its expansive convenience store model, enhances its presence with the recent openings of two new locations in Brunswick, Georgia, and Mount Crawford, Virginia. The Brunswick facility, which spans an impressive 74,000 square feet and features 120 gas pumps, officially opens its doors on June 30, becoming the chain’s third site in Georgia. Stan Beard, a Buc-ee’s executive, emphasizes the strategic importance of this location, serving as a key stop for travelers between Buc-ee’s existing locations in Florida and South Carolina. The community's enthusiastic reception signals a promising start for this new venture, as Buc-ee's aims to cater to an increasing number of road travelers.
The Mount Crawford site, which commenced operations just a day earlier, marks Buc-ee's inaugural entry into Virginia. Similar in size to the Brunswick location, the Mount Crawford center is poised to make a significant impact on the local economy. Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, who participates in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, notes that Buc-ee's investment, exceeding $60 million, will create around 200 jobs in Rockingham County. The attention to job creation and economic development aligns with Buc-ee’s broader strategy of not only expanding its footprint but also contributing positively to the communities it enters.
As Buc-ee's continues to grow, it now boasts a total of 54 travel centers, maintaining its status as the world’s largest convenience store chain. The company’s flagship store in Luling, Texas, stands as a testament to its success, featuring over 100 gas pumps and extensive retail space. At these new locations, customers can expect classic Buc-ee's offerings, including its famous Beaver Nuggets, homemade fudge, and kolaches. The chain’s ongoing multi-state expansion initiative, which began in 2019, demonstrates its commitment to enhancing the travel center market across the United States.
In addition to the new store openings, Buc-ee’s reflects a growing trend in the travel center industry where brands focus on creating memorable experiences for travelers. By offering a wide array of food options and convenience services, Buc-ee's positions itself as more than just a pit stop; it becomes a destination for road trippers.
As Buc-ee’s eyes further growth into new states, its strategy emphasizes not only expansion but also community engagement and economic contributions, setting a blueprint for success in the highly competitive travel center market.
