For most drivers, gas stations are a necessary evil. For fans of Buc-ee's, they are a destination - and now the beaver-branded giant is about to pop up in more states than ever before.
By the end of 2026, the 'Disneyland of gas stations' will open four more of its iconic outposts, with another 15 planned in the years that follow. Scroll down to see the full list.

I went to buccees once ... never again ... never ...
I don’t see them coming to Alaska during my lifetime.
The kids love it. Ima Texan so I’m supposed to love it. It’s clean and they have a vested interest in safety. Otherwise meh. Happy meal.
they hire water police ... they pay someone to follow you around to make sure you don’t fill up your water bottle, even when you’re buying other stuff ... I never saw anything so absurd ... F ‘em ...
What went wrong? Buc-ees is usually fun.
We have been to a couple, over the years. They have great bathrooms and jerky. The staff is always nice. They have a ton of gas pumps.
We did not get gas there, though, because it is not a Top Tier Gas compliant fuel.
Since going with Top Tier Gas, over a decade ago, we’ve never had a fuel-related problem or ever needed an injector cleaning or additive.
It’s a no-brainer to stay with Top Tier Gas.
Buccees is not a place, it’s a lifestyle.
Good point! We found out they don’t allow water refills, at least free ones.
Other gas stations do, though.
I will say I had a good, hot sandwich, there.
BTDT. No need for a repeat.
Gas, maybe snacks, and a place to pee. Everything else is unneeded.
We have Love’s here, so probably not.
Buc-ee’s is great. Cheapest gas, great BBQ Brisket Sammies, super clean restrooms, and the Buc-ee’s Overbites are to die for. An Overbite is a Hockey Puck sized Resse’s Cup, but they have Dark Chocolate, Chocolate Truffle and a Chocolate PB n Caramel. 700 calories of decadence on the Highway! I won’t mention the wall of Jerkey in all different flavors, or the wall of 40 different fountain drinks, or the 40 flavors of homemade fudge. What’s not to like except the crowds, I just ignore them.
Where did that name Buc-ee’s come from?
If this was centered in Ohio, where I used to live, ‘I could see Buckeyes being part of the name.
The closest I’ll probably ever get to a Buc-ee’s is the peanut brittle that I had to order online to get. The stores seem to be going up everywhere but near here.
“Buc-ee’s got its name from founder Arch “Beaver” Aplin III combining his childhood nickname, “Beaver,” with his Labrador dog’s name, “Buck,” to create “Buc-ee,” and then adding the plural “-s,” inspired by the popular cartoon “Bucky Beaver”.
I got BBQ brisket sandwich which seemed to be all the fat trimmings they had laying around. My daughter’s was ok but I won’t take the chance again.
Phoenix Arizona!
We are On The Map!
They usually locate out in the boonies on the Interstate between large cities. Lucky my kids live in Nashville and a new one opened near Smiths Grove, Ky a couple years ago, so when we visit we always stop going down and back, and I always ask the kids to stop if they are coming to Cincy and bring me a few Overbites.
Wow, I’ve never had a bad one, sorry to hear that. I guess you were driving and couldn’t go back. I’d be pissed.😠
