Buckle up, Floridians - gas pumping is about to get bigger and better.

A brand-new 76,245sq ft Buc-ee's is set to open up in Fort Pierce, offering 120 pumps, 18 charging stations, and over 700 parking spots.

It will be Buc-ee’s fourth Florida location, joining existing outposts in St. Augustine, Daytona Beach and Ocala.

I’ve been to the one in Harrisonburg Va. It was forgettable.

...thank you for the heads up! That’s about an hour from me and I would’ve visited out of curiosity. Might still but only if in the area.

Poor reporting. There is no mention of the Buc-eye’s pride and joy. How many bathroom stalls?

Traveled from Maryland to Florida the week of Christmas. We were eager to see what all the hubbub was about, so we stopped at the Buc-ees in Florence, SC.

It was a zoo. Yes, there's 100 gas pumps, but self-centered idiots will be self-centered idiots, so they get gas and leave their car parked at the pump and go shopping. Jockeying for an open pump was nerve-wracking. The parking lot is huge, but you better be careful as a pedestrian. The store was very crowded.

The bathrooms are one of their selling points. They are clean and there's plenty of stalls. We hit Florence on the way down and the way back, and both times there was a line for the ladies room. It did, however, move surprisingly fast.

If you like brisket, you're in luck. Lots of food, snacks, drinks, clothing, and gifts. Decent coffee with all manner of flavorings. Friendly and helpful staff.

While in St. Augustine, we stopped at their Buc-ees. Pretty much the same thing. On the way home from Florida, after stopping at Florence, my wife told me she had had her fill of Buc-ees.

I think once the novelty of Buc-ees wears off, it will be a very pleasant place to stop. Right now, it's not a bad place to stop, but it will get better. It's like what Yogi Berra said: "Noboby goes there. It's too crowded."

YMMV.

Very close to me if I want to go south on 95.

Fort Pierce seems to be an odd spot for it.

I'd have thought that Daytona Beach would be better, as it's right by the Daytona Speedway and the intersection of I-95 and I-4 to Orlando and Tampa.

Think Caseys or Circle K convenience type store on steroids. Canned goods. Fresh made soups, sandwiches, BBQ, Jellies, you name it. Oh, and clean bathrooms.

I’ve ben to a bunch of Buc-ees. When I go now it’s usually a quick stop for a pound of Bohemian Garlic jerky from the jerky counter.

We’re driving to Florida in a week and a half for a work trip and will hit at least one.

I just walked through Buccees near Dallas. There’s almost nothing to eat there that is not sugar and carbs. It is diabetic paradise.
