Buc-ee’s opens new travel center in Florida

The huge travel center includes 104 fuelling positions, a tunnel car wash and thousands of snacks, drinks and meals for Florida travellers.

Buc-ee’s opened a new travel center in Daytona Beach on Monday as the Southern retailer continues to expand its business across various states.

Buc-ee's Daytona Beach occupies 53,000 square feet and offers 104 fueling positions and a tunnel wash just outside its store with thousands of snack, meal and drink options for travellers on the go. Buc-ee's favourites including Texas barbeque, homemade fudge, kolaches, Beaver nuggets, jerky and fresh pastries will all be available.

The Daytona Beach site marks the second Buc-ee's travel center in Florida, joining Buc-ee's St. Augustine, which opened last month. The two Florida outposts continue Buc-ee's multi-state expansion across the South, adding to stores in Georgia and Alabama. Its first travel center in South Carolina is also currently under construction and is slated for opening in 2022. The company continues to operate 38 locations in Texas, where it was founded.

“From the Speedway to Bike Week to the Art Festival, Buc-ee's will fit right in. We have been so impressed by the efforts of both Volusia County and City of Daytona Beach's staff, and we can't thank them enough for their support during the construction and opening process. This is a great place to do business,” said Stan Beard of Buc-ee's.

The Texas-based chain is also known for its clean bathrooms, huge size, friendly service, and themed apparel.
