Buc-ee's, the Texas-based chain known for its large travel centers, is set to open an 80,000-square-foot location in Ocala, Florida, potentially surpassing the recently opened world's largest Buc-ee's in Tennessee. State leaders are working on construction near the site, including a new Interstate 75 interchange. The new interchange is expected to open at the same time as the gas station. Buc-ee's was approved to bring another site to Florida in February, and the new location will be situated east of Interstate 75 and near Highway 326.

Florida's New Buc-ee's: The Ultimate Fuel Station Experience

Buc-ee's, a popular gas station chain, recently opened its largest location in Sevierville, Tennessee, but plans are underway for an even larger store in Marion County, Florida. The upcoming Florida location will be 80,000 square feet, surpassing the Tennessee store's 74,000 square feet. Governor Ron DeSantis expressed excitement about the expansion, praising Buc-ee's for its wide variety of offerings and calling it the "Shangri-La of service stations." The CEO of Buc-ee's, Arch "Beaver" Aplin, explained that the decision to open in Marion County was driven by the success of their existing stores on I-95 and the opportunities presented by a new interchange.
