Buc-ee’s celebrated the grand opening of its newest store Tuesday in Brunswick, according to News 6 partner WJXT-TV.
The massive gas station and convenience store is at 7156 Highway 99 off Interstate 95 (Exit 42).
This is the third Buc-ee’s to open in Georgia, and the largest yet in the Peach State.
Visitors were lining up hours before the 11 a.m. grand opening celebration on Tuesday.
“We got here 50th in line, so we got a free Bucky‘s T-shirt and yeah, I’ll take it!” said Lane Anderson and Landen Wade.

They were excited to visit Buc-ee’s famous wall of beef jerky selections, and said they were thrilled to have the new store so close to home.
But what about Florida?
While the beaver-lovin’ Buc-ee’s gas station chain has already made headway into the Sunshine State, there are still more stores on the horizon.
1. OCALA
This location was originally set to be the largest Buc-ee’s ever — though that title was usurped by a Texas store that opened last year.
Still, the upcoming Marion County store is planned to be 74,000 square feet, making it a behemoth compared to many other Buc-ee’s locations.
It’s being built near Interstate 75, north of Ocala. And it’s also a big motivator for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who discussed the travel store chain when talking about a request for funding the nearby interchange on Northwest 49th Street.

“I get pitched on a lot of things, right? I mean, it just goes with the job,” he said back in February. “And so I’m just kind of going there, going through some stuff, and then I’m like, ‘Alright.’ I didn’t commit to anything.”
However, the person briefing DeSantis reportedly told him that by funding the interchange, they would be able to have the upcoming Buc-ee’s right there off the exit to I-75.
“I said, ‘Sign me up,’” DeSantis touted.
According to News 6 partner WPLG-TV last month, a construction company submitted a bid to widen I-75, so the interchange project will move forward.
While the store was originally expected to open in late 2025, it will likely have to wait until after the project is completed.
2. FORT PIERCE
After Ocala, this is the fourth location planned to open in Florida.
Site plans unveiled last year show that this store is set to open north of Fort Pierce at the southeast corner of the I-95 Indrio Road interchange.
Earlier this year, more news came out showing that the gas station may feature up to 120 gas pumps and nearly 800 parking spaces, though few details about this site have been released so far.
3. TALLAHASSEE
During the same news conference where DeSantis discussed the I-75 project, he also claimed that a new Buc-ee’s is coming to the state capitol.
According to DeSantis, this Buc-ee’s store is planned to be built off Interstate 10 near Tallahassee, which he said will “revolutionize driving on I-10.”
Per the Tallahassee Democrat, the Tallahassee store is slated to bring in around 200 new jobs, and the travel center itself could span 75,000 square feet, which would even overtake the gargantuan Ocala location.
