If you have ever taken a road trip through Texas, there is a good chance you have heard of — or stopped at — Buc-ee’s. Known for being the world’s largest convenience store and gas station, Buc-ee’s is more than just a place to fuel up. It is a full-blown travel experience. And now, Buc-ee’s is expanding its footprint by entering two brand-new states: Virginia and Mississippi.
This summer, Buc-ee’s will open its first-ever locations in Harrison County, Mississippi (on June 9), and Rockingham County, Virginia (on June 30). These new openings mark a major milestone as the brand continues to stretch beyond its Texas roots and into the hearts of new regions.
What makes Buc-ee’s so popular?
You might be wondering: why all the hype over a gas station? Well, Buc-ee’s is not your average pit stop. These travel centers are gigantic — we are talking about more than 50,000 square feet of space in many locations. They feature dozens of gas pumps, freshly made food (like brisket sandwiches, fudge, and kolaches), and an insane variety of snacks and merchandise.
Oh, and let’s not forget the restrooms — Buc-ee’s is practically legendary for how clean they are. In fact, clean bathrooms are one of the top reasons people plan their road trips around stopping at Buc-ee’s.
Is Buc-ee’s coming to Virginia and Mississippi?
Yes! For the first time ever, Buc-ee’s is officially making its way into Virginia and Mississippi, giving you two more reasons to be excited if you live in or travel through those areas.
The new Virginia location will be in Rockingham County, roughly 2.5 hours from Washington, D.C. Once open, it will be Buc-ee’s northernmost location in the country — a major move that opens up the brand to a whole new group of travelers.
Meanwhile, the Mississippi location is set for Harrison County, along the Gulf Coast. With summer travel picking up, the timing could not be better.
When will the new Buc-ee’s stores open?
Here are the exact opening dates so you can mark your calendar:
- Harrison County, Mississippi – June 9, 2025
- Rockingham County, Virginia – June 30, 2025
- Brunswick, Georgia – July 1, 2025
Yes, Georgia is also getting a new store, even though it is not a brand-new state for Buc-ee’s. But for Virginia and Mississippi, this is the first time residents will get to experience Buc-ee’s magic right in their backyard.
What can you expect at the new Buc-ee’s locations?
If this will be your first time visiting a Buc-ee’s, prepare to be wowed. The new stores will offer all the fan favorites — think massive walls of beef jerky, endless rows of snacks, and Buc-ee the Beaver gear. But more than that, they are designed to be efficient and family-friendly.
From quick gas fill-ups to full-on meal breaks and souvenir shopping, Buc-ee’s delivers on convenience and comfort. Plus, with their focus on clean facilities and quality customer service, you can bet the new locations will live up to the hype.
