Buc-ee's fans rejoice!!
It's finally official, Buc-ee's are bringing their trademark Beaver Nuggets, and unique travel center experience to Marion County, giving Central Florida it's second Buc-ees location.
The hugely popular gas station chain has received the green light to open the new location in Ocala after Marion County commissioners gave approval for the scheme.
The proposed development, near Interstate 75, north of Ocala, will feature an 80,000-square-foot travel center, and include 120 gas pumps.
Currently, there are two other Buc-ee’s in Florida, one in Daytona Beach and the other in St. Augustine.
The project’s start date has not been revealed, but don't worry we will keep you up to date!
Buc-ee’s has become a favorite stopover with a cult following wherever a new location opens.
Buc-ee’s locations are huge, selling everything from the famous Beaver Nuggets, which is actually caramel popcorn, Texas-style brisket sandwiches, fresh jerky, and more Buc-ee's merchandise than you can image!
Arch Aplin III opened the first Buc-ee’s in July 1982. The name came from his childhood nicknames, “Beaver” and “Bucky Beaver,” the latter of which was inspired by a cartoon character in toothpaste ads!
The brand has since grown throughout the state before expanding across the South, including ithe two locations currently in Florida.
