Buc-ee's was founded in 1982 and has become a fan-favorite road trip rest stop
www.independent.co.ukHere’s the latest you can act on now.
- Buc-ee’s expansion continues into new states with multiple openings planned through 2026–2027, including new locations in Georgia, Mississippi, Virginia, Texas, Arizona, and North Carolina, with several openings expected this year and next.[1][3][7]

Notes on context and credibility:
- Buc-ee’s has consistently marketed its large-format travel centers with extensive food options and clean facilities, a branding angle that underpins its expansion strategy.[1]
