Other new Buc-ee’s stores that are coming soon, including one in Marion County, Florida, could soon beat that, though.
The new Marion County location, scheduled to open in 2025, will be located near Interstate 75, north of Ocala, and will feature an 80,000-square-foot travel center.
There are two other Buc-ee’s in Florida, one in Daytona Beach and the other in St. Augustine.
