Popular gas station to open new locations across 9 states
Buc-ee's, Gen Z's favorite gas station , is planning to open a series of new locations across nine different states. The gas station chain has built up a cult following for its delicious food offerings, clean bathrooms and light-hearted advertising. Now the chain has plans to open 11 new gas stations over the next two years. The chain, which operates most of its gas stations in the South, plans to open new stores in Ohio, Mississippi , Florida , North Carolina, Arkansas, Georgia, Virginia and Texas - and its first ever store in Arizona. The first Buc-ee's opened in Texas in 1982, and the company now has 62 locations across 14 states that are all open 24-hours-a-day, 365 days a year. The majority of Buc-ee's are in Texas, with others in Colorado , Missouri , Kentucky , Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and Alabama . Among them is the world's largest convenience store (in Luling, Texas , at 75,593 square feet) and the world's longest car wash (255 feet of conveyor in Katy, Texas). Despite its enormous success, Buc-ee's remains a private company and has no plans to become publicly traded, according to its website. Where are the new locations? Arizona A new location in the Goodyear suburb of Phoenix, Arizona, broke ground on May 14 and is set to open in June 2026, according to the Arizona Republic. The location is the first ever Buc-ee's to open in the state. It is located just off Interstate 10, so should pick up traffic from those traveling to or from western Arizona and California. Georgia Ohio & Florida North Carolina, Arkansas, Mississippi, Virginia Another location will open in Mebane, North Carolina, sometime between late 2026 and early 2027, according to The Charlotte Observer.

The site also lists another gas store opening in Rockingham County, Virginia , later this year. Texas Next year the residents of Boerne, Texas, will also get their own Buc-ee's location, according to the company's website. The gas station had previously aimed its marketing at campaign at appealing to Gen Z shoppers. Buc-ee's posters on highways in states such as Texas and Tennessee had slogans such as; 'In my Buc-ee's era', 'Beaver fit check' and 'Slay: 82 miles' on the backdrop of the chain's eye-catching red and yellow. The phrases use popular TikTok and other social media parlance that has in turn given the brand fans on those platforms itself. Want more stories like this from the Daily Mail?
