Where Are the Buc-ee's in Florida? (Open Locations Near You)
St. Augustine, FL — 200 World Commerce Parkway (I-95 Exit 318)
The St. Augustine store opened on February 22, 2021, as Buc-ee's Store #46. At 52,600 square feet with 104 fuel pumps, it sits in the World Golf Village area just off Exit 318, making it an easy on-and-off stop for northbound and southbound I-95 traffic alike.
This location carries the full Buc-ee's lineup, including ethanol-free fuel, DEF, a Tesla Supercharger, and a Penny Press machine. It does not have an on-site car wash, which sets it apart from its Daytona sibling.
Bonus stop: The St. Augustine historic district is less than 10 miles away. If you have an hour to spare, the Castillo de San Marcos and St. George Street are worth the detour.
Key amenities: Ethanol-free fuel, DEF, Tesla Supercharger, Penny Press
Daytona Beach, FL — 2330 Gateway North Drive (I-95 Exit 265)
The Daytona Beach store opened on March 22, 2021, just 28 days after St. Augustine. At 53,000 square feet and 104 fuel pumps, it is Florida's largest open Buc-ee's by a slim 400 square feet.
One feature separates Daytona Beach from every other Florida location: Florida's longest car wash tunnel at 235 feet. According to the Daytona Beach News-Journal, this store welcomed 5.4 million visitors over a 12-month period between 2022 and 2023, making it one of the highest-traffic Buc-ee's stores on the East Coast.
Located across from Sam's Club and Tanger Outlets on LPGA Boulevard, this stop is convenient whether you are heading to Disney World (about 65 miles west) or the Daytona 500 at the Speedway (about 3 miles away).
Key amenities: Florida's longest car wash (235 ft), ethanol-free fuel, DEF, Tesla Supercharger, Penny Press

When Did Buc-ee's Open in Florida? (And Why It Mattered)
St. Augustine's opening on February 22, 2021, was not just another store launch. It marked the first time Buc-ee's had opened outside of its South and Central Texas home territory in the Southeast. That single store proved the brand could draw massive crowds in a new region, and it set off a wave of expansion across Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia, Alabama, and beyond.
Daytona Beach followed 28 days later on March 22, 2021. Both stores opened during the tail end of winter snowbird season, which meant instant traffic from the millions of Midwestern and Northeastern travelers already passing through on I-95.
Florida was, in many ways, the proving ground. The East Coast expansion that travellers now see from Georgia to Virginia traces back to those two February and March 2021 openings.
Why Did Buc-ee's Choose I-95 for Its Florida Locations?
The strategic logic is straightforward. I-95 is the primary highway connecting the Northeast corridor to Florida's tourism destinations. More than 50 million people make the drive from states like New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Georgia to Florida each year, and a large share of them travel I-95.
Placing stores in St. Augustine and Daytona Beach catches traffic in both directions:
- Southbound travelers (arriving in Florida) hit St. Augustine first, often treating it as their official "we're in Florida" stop before continuing to Orlando, Daytona, or Miami
- Northbound travelers (leaving Florida) load up on snacks, merchandise, and fuel at Daytona Beach before the long drive home
Both stores also sit near high-draw destinations. The Daytona store is about 65 miles from Walt Disney World, making it a popular first stop for Orlando-bound families. The St. Augustine store anchors the so-called "First Coast," the oldest continuously occupied European settlement in North America, drawing millions of history-focused tourists annually.
Where Is the Next Buc-ee's in Florida Being Built?
Fort Pierce / St. Lucie County — 2028 target (delayed from 2027)
Fort Pierce is the most anticipated upcoming Florida store. At a planned 76,000 square feet with 120 fuel pumps, 18 EV charging stations, and over 700 parking spaces, it will be Florida's largest Buc-ee's by a significant margin.
Buc-ee's briefly marketed the Fort Pierce store as the world's largest convenience store, then walked the claim back after acknowledging that measurement variances give the Luling, Texas, location (75,593 sq ft) that title. Still, Fort Pierce will rank among the top five largest Buc-ee's stores in the country.
Per reporting by WPEC (August 2026), Fort Pierce is now targeted for a 2028 opening, delayed from the original 2027 timeline. The location sits at I-95 and Indrio Road in St. Lucie County, roughly one hour north of West Palm Beach. For South Florida drivers, this is as close as Buc-ee's gets to Miami, since the land footprint required for a full-size store makes a Miami-Dade or Broward location unlikely in the near term.
What makes Fort Pierce notable:
- 76,000 sq ft (Florida's future largest Buc-ee's)
- 120 fuel pumps
- 18 EV charging stations (most of any Florida Buc-ee's)
- 700+ parking spaces
- Closest location yet to South Florida
Tallahassee (I-10 Corridor)
Tallahassee is set to become the first Buc-ee's in Florida's Panhandle. Targeting a mid-2027 opening, the site sits off I-10, which connects Tallahassee to Jacksonville in the east and Pensacola in the west.
According to WCTV Tallahassee (January 2026), a site plan was filed in early 2026 and groundbreaking was expected later that year. This location will serve Florida State University game-day travelers, Panhandle beach traffic heading to Destin and Panama City Beach, and the large volume of commercial traffic on I-10.
Ocala (I-75, North-Central Florida)
The Ocala store on I-75 is planned at 74,000 square feet, making it significantly larger than the two existing Florida stores. However, construction was pushed to 2029 specifically because a new I-75 interchange needs to be built first. The interchange project is required to safely handle the volume of traffic a Buc-ee's generates at peak periods.
Ocala sits roughly midway between Tampa and Gainesville on I-75, a stretch of highway that currently has no major travel stops of comparable size.
Port Charlotte (I-75 Exit 170, Southwest Florida)
Port Charlotte will bring Buc-ee's to Southwest Florida for the first time, serving the Gulf Coast corridor that I-75 runs through between Naples and Tampa. Planned at 74,000 square feet with 120 fuel pumps and 740 parking spaces, the store targets I-75 Exit 170.
No confirmed opening date has been announced as of August 2026, but the planned footprint matches the newer generation of Buc-ee's stores rolling out nationally.
