The beaver has one last place to build in 2026.
Buc-ee's will debut one more travel center in 2026, with a Murfreesboro, Tennessee, location set to open in November. The new outpost marks the latest in the beaver-branded chain's expansion beyond its Texas stomping grounds.
Crissy Gonzales, Buc-ee's media coordinator, previously told USA TODAY that the Murfreesboro location will open on Nov. 16. Buc-ee's opened its first locations in Arkansas, Arizona, and Ohio in 2026.
Buc-ee's debuted in Virginia in 2025 after opening its first Colorado location a year earlier. The company anticipates adding locations in Louisiana, Kansas, and Wisconsin by the end of 2027.
Plans to open the company's first travel center in Indiana were approved by local officials
in September.

Buc-ee's sees lawsuit backlash
Buc-ee's has seen backlash to its aggressive push to protect its trademarks, filing lawsuits against other convenience stores and fuel centers.
The most notable blowback came from television host John Oliver, who challenged Buc-ee's to sue him over trademark infringement during the July 26 episode of "Last Week Tonight," when the show introduced merchandise featuring a logo similar to Buc-ee's.
It settled a lawsuit against Mickey's that alleged the Ohio gas station chain's logo was too similar to Buc-ee's cartoon beaver in September. A Buc-ee's lawsuit against Beaver's Mini Mart in Beavercreek, Ohio, claiming its customers may be confused by the mini mart's logo is ongoing.
