Buc-ee's Unwritten Rules for the Ultimate Road-Trip Stop

Buc-ee's, the Texas-born travel plaza now expanding across multiple states, operates as an experience rather than a typical gas station: no 18-wheelers, fill up before exploring, and expect 100–120 gas pumps; known for world-class restrooms, Beaver Nuggets and BBQ, with other treats like fudge and jerky; refills aren’t free and using your own cup isn’t encouraged, and overnight parking isn’t allowed, so plan a quick visit rather than an extended stay.

Buc-ee’s under fire over reported unsold-food waste at closing time

A shopper at a Texas Buc-ee’s alleges staff threw away roughly 50 sandwiches at closing, spotlighting the broader U.S. issue of food waste (about 92 billion pounds annually) and its environmental and social costs. While donations to food banks are suggested, liability concerns are cited as a barrier, and some urge partnerships (e.g., Too Good to Go) to sell surplus food. Buc-ee’s has donated $1 million for flood relief in 2025 and does not publicly disclose its waste policies, prompting calls for greater transparency and waste-reduction efforts.

Buc-ee’s targets record-breaking Florida mega-store

Buc-ee’s plans to open what it says will be the world’s largest convenience store in Fort Pierce, Florida, a 76,245-square-foot complex with 120 gas pumps, 18 electric-vehicle charging stations and more than 700 parking spaces. Construction could take about two years, with a late-2027 or early-2028 opening; officials expect the project to boost the local economy and create more than 175 jobs. Buc-ee’s already operates in Daytona Beach and St. Augustine, with Ocala planned.
