As of August 2026, there are 58 open Buc-ee's locations across 14 states, including the newest additions — San Marcos, TX (Aug 12) and Benton, AR (Aug 17). Texas leads with 37 stores, followed by Alabama with 4. Every location runs 24/7/365, and more states get their first Buc-ee's in 2026 and 2027.

Buc-ee's has gone from one small Texas gas station in 1982 to one of the most recognized travel brands in America. The chain is famous for spotless restrooms, Beaver Nuggets, brisket sandwiches, and gas stations so big they double as tourist stops. But finding one along your route isn't always obvious, stores cluster heavily in some states and don't exist at all in others.

What Are All the Buc-ee's Locations by State?

Texas — 37 Locations

Texas is the birthplace of Buc-ee's and home to more stores than every other state combined. Locations range from original small-format shops in Lake Jackson to the 75,593-square-foot flagship in Luling, the world's largest convenience store. Most sit along I-10, I-35, and I-45. The newest addition is San Marcos on I-35 (opens August 12, 2026), a 74,000 sq ft store with 128 fuel pumps — the highest pump count in the entire chain.

Don't miss in Texas:

  • Luling (I-10) — World's largest Buc-ee's, 120 fuel pumps
  • New Braunfels (I-35) — Former world record holder (2012–2023)
  • Madisonville (I-45) — The famous Wall of Jerky, exact midpoint between Dallas and Houston
  • Katy (I-10) — First 120-pump store, serving the Houston metro

Alabama — 4 Locations

Alabama was the first state outside Texas to land a Buc-ee's, with Loxley opening in 2019. Stores line the I-10, I-20, I-65, and I-85 corridors connecting Atlanta and Birmingham to the Gulf Coast.

A fourth store is under construction in Monroe County (Forsyth), with a target opening of summer or fall 2027 — strengthening coverage along the busy I-75 corridor between Atlanta and Florida. Full details on every Georgia store are in our Buc-ee's Georgia locations guide.

Which States Have the Most Buc-ee's?

Texas has by far the most Buc-ee's with 37 stores about 64% of all locations nationwide. Alabama is a distant second with 4, followed by Georgia with 3, and Tennessee, Florida, and Kentucky each with 2. The remaining 8 states have just one store each (including brand-new Arkansas), though that's changing fast with the chain's expansion push.

What New Buc-ee's Locations Are Opening in 2026 and 2027?

Two brand-new states get their first Buc-ee's in 2026: Arizona (Goodyear, opened June 22) and Arkansas (Benton, August). Six more locations across Louisiana, Kansas, Tennessee, Florida, Texas, and Georgia are confirmed for 2027 as the chain pushes toward 20 states.

The Goodyear opening was a spectacle. The 74,000-square-foot store near I-10 and Bullard Avenue features 120 fuel pumps, created more than 200 jobs, and city officials estimated up to 40,000 vehicles would visit during opening week. As Buc-ee's real estate director Stan Beard put it, Goodyear is "perfectly placed for our road-trippers headed out to California or coming in for the destination-rich Phoenix area."

The pipeline stretches years out. Mebane, North Carolina and Lafayette, Louisiana are slated for 2028. Later stores include Ocala, Florida (2029), West Memphis, Arkansas (2029), Oak Grove, Kentucky (2029), and Hardeeville, South Carolina (2031).

What Recently Opened at Buc-ee's?

Two milestone stores opened in 2026. Ohio's first Buc-ee's in Huber Heights debuted April 6, generating over $1 million in sales on opening day, the chain's strongest first-day performance ever. Arizona's first store in Goodyear followed on June 22, drawing thousands of fans who lined up hours before the doors opened.

These openings show why states actively compete for Buc-ee's. Each location creates at least 200 full-time jobs and pulls enormous traffic. The Huber Heights store, off I-70 north of Dayton, now serves travelers from Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Indianapolis through a single 74,000-square-foot hub.

What Makes Each Buc-ee's Different?

While every Buc-ee's follows the same playbook, stores vary in size and features. Original Texas shops can be under 15,000 square feet with fewer than 60 fuel pumps, while modern travel centers stretch past 74,000 square feet with 120 pumps. The store number on each sign reflects build order #1 is the original Lake Jackson store.

A few things stay consistent at every full-size location:

  • No 18-wheelers, ever — a core design choice that keeps lots clean and fast
  • Company-owned and operated — no franchisees, so quality stays uniform from Texas to Ohio
  • Restrooms cleaned every 30 minutes — New Braunfels won the Cintas "Best Restroom in America" award in 2012
  • Fresh food 24/7 — brisket, kolaches, fudge, and the Wall of Jerky

What Are Buc-ee's Hours and Amenities?

Every Buc-ee's travel center is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, no exceptions. Car washes run 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. at most stores, with a few older Texas locations closing at 8 p.m. Amenities vary by store, so it's worth checking before you go.

Current amenity counts across all stores:

AmenityNumber of Locations
Tesla Supercharger36
DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid)39
Ethanol-Free Fuel35
Mercedes-Benz High-Power Universal Charger29
Car Wash14

Is Buc-ee's Good for EV Road Trips?

Yes, Buc-ee's is becoming a strong EV charging option, with Tesla Superchargers at 36 locations and Mercedes-Benz High-Power Universal Chargers at 29. Stores like Sevierville and Katy offer 24 Tesla stalls at up to 250 kW, among the fastest public charging in the country. A 30-minute stop can add serious range.

A few planning tips for EV drivers:

  • Charging zones are usually separate from the main fuel pumps—look for signage at the entrance.
  • Tesla Superchargers serve Tesla models at the stall; check for separate CCS stations if you drive another EV.
  • Confirm working stalls on PlugShare before you arrive, since availability changes.

What Food Can You Get at Buc-ee's?

The food is half the reason people stop. The chopped brisket sandwich is the top-selling item by a wide margin, and Beaver Nuggets caramel-coated corn puffs are the cult-favorite snack. Beyond that, the menu is enormous and available around the clock.

Signature items worth trying:

  • Chopped brisket sandwich — the #1 seller, sweet-and-tangy and rich
  • Beaver Nuggets — sweet, salty, and weirdly addictive (a Bold & Spicy version exists too)
  • Beaver chips — surprisingly good house-made potato chips
  • The Wall of Jerky — a 15-foot bar with a dozen-plus flavors, including Bohemian Garlic
  • Jalapeño kolaches — a Texas Czech tradition
  • In-house fudge — a couple dozen flavors made on-site
  • Warm candied pecans — dangerously hard to stop eating

How Do You Plan a Road Trip Around Buc-ee's?

Most travelers think by highway, not by state and Buc-ee's clusters along a handful of major interstates. The I-10 corridor through Texas and the Gulf Coast is the most Buc-ee's-dense stretch in the country. Pairing two stores per route gives you a natural rhythm of breaks.

A few classic routes:

  • Houston → San Antonio (I-10): Stop at Katy westbound, Luling on the return.
  • Dallas → Houston (I-45): Hit Ennis, then Madisonville at the true midpoint.
  • Atlanta → Florida (I-75/I-95): Adairsville, Warner Robins, then Florence and St. Augustine.
  • DC → Miami (I-95): Rockingham County, Florence, St. Augustine, Daytona Beach.
Pro tip: During holidays and summer weekends, fuel up first, then move your car to a parking spot before shopping. It keeps pump turnover fast and the lines moving.
