Buc-ee's, the popular Texas-based convenience store and gas stop, is expanding its reach over the next few years, with several locations planned for Florida.
Over the next few years, a slew of Buc-ee's stores are expected to open in seven states, if everything goes according to plan. As part of that expansion, Floridians could see two more Buc-ee's pop up in the Sunshine State. One, planned for St. Lucie County, could become South Florida's closest location.
No locations south of the Fort Pierce Buc-ee's have yet been announced. There are only two Buc-ee's locations in the Sunshine State as of October 2026.
Where are Buc-ee's locations planned to open in Florida?
There are four new Buc-ee's in progress and in the planning stages across Florida. Two locations aim to open next year, in the Tallahassee
and Fort Pierce areas.
- Fort Pierce / St. Lucie County, I‑95 and Indrio Road: On Florida’s East Coast, Buc‑ee’s has proposed a new location near the I‑95 and Indrio Road interchange in St. Lucie County, serving the Fort Pierce area southwest of Vero Beach. Plans call for a massive travel center with a store of 76,245 square feet, 120 gas pumps, 18 EV charging stations, and 778 parking spaces. The estimated opening date is 2028.
- Tallahassee / Leon County, near I‑10: Buc-ee's bought more than 30 acres near Capital Circle Northwest and Interstate 10 last November after submitting plans for 75,000 square feet, with 120 gas pumps and 24 EV charging stations. This would be the chain’s first Panhandle location, giving drivers on I‑10 a Buc‑ee’s stop between the Alabama state line and Jacksonville. The estimated opening date is 2027.
- Ocala / Marion County, near I-75: A Buc-ee's will be located on a new Interstate 75 interchange at the southeast corner of I-75 and Northwest 49th Street, which is being constructed as part of a massive I-75 improvements project. The opening date was pushed to 2029 this year.
- Port Charlotte / Charlotte County, I-75: There are plans for a Buc-ee's in a trio of villages near a new Harborview development in Southwest Florida. Depending on the zoning, it's planned to be around 74.000 square feet, according to Stan Beard, Buc-ee’s national director of real estate and development. There is no estimated opening date for this location.
How many Buc-ee's locations are there in Florida?
Right now, Buc-ee’s operates two travel centers in Florida, both along Interstate 95.
The first one opened in 2021 in St. Augustine, along the Northeast Florida stretch of I‑95, and it was quickly followed by a Buc-ee's in Daytona Beach, serving drivers headed to and from Central Florida’s beaches and Speedway area.
Each location combines a large convenience store-slash-deli-slash-bakery with a ridiculous number of gas pumps (more than 100 at each location), big parking lots, and a wide selection of food and merchandise. The Daytona Beach Buc-ee's also features a 235-foot-long car wash.
Here are the Florida Buc-ee's addresses:
- Daytona Beach: 2330 Gateway North Drive
- St. Augustine: 200 World Commerce Pkwy
