I know they are supost to be building one in Ocala, Fla soon. Not 100% sure of the location, but I think near Sr326 and I75.

There is one pretty close to my tractor dealer. My wife and daughters LOVE them for the bathrooms. For those unaware, bathrooms are huge, well stocked, and maintained.
Gas prices vary and are not typically posted. Sometimes, they are among the cheapest, other times not so much.
No 18 wheeler customers allowed.
The convenience store is large and has lots of variety due to its size. Lots of souvenir type things in addition to the typical.

I did read they had problems with the state if Alabama (I think) about selling gas at a loss. Guess there is a state law preventing that. But they make their money of food, drinks, trinkets, beaver nuggets, ect.

Months ago, it was reported that one would be going up on 64, close to the West Point exit. This past week, local news reported that Rockingham County officials had announced that one would be built at the Bridgewater exit. Fine by me, that's closer.
It's possible that they're going to build at both locations, but it's also possible that they've changed plans. Both sites would produce good traffic/business.

One of my co-workers was talking to one of the Buccees senior folks (not a store guy, Corp guy, when they built the one in St Aug) and they want to space them approx a 72 oz big gulp pee away from each other. Basically, they want you to need to finish your drink and need to pee, and boom, your at the next buccees, go to the bathroom, and get more drinks/snacks.

Know your customer details. LOL.
Bladder size and endurance. Marketing and planning at the most basic human level. Scary and funny at the same time.

Interesting. The one in Florence, SC near me is just off of I-20 and has it's own dedicated entrance. This one has a huge truck fueling location and parking. It is separate from the passenger vehicle lot. I had never noticed about the gas prices not being advertised.
The deal with the bathrooms is each toilet has it's own private room. Utopia. They also have an attendant that constantly cleans. Other than that, the food, store and prices are pretty much a disappointment.

There are 4 or 5 within 20-30 miles of us and I've been to all of them over the years. As stated, they have the cleanest and largest restrooms, probably 20-40 urinals and probably the same number of toilets and sinks. You never have to wait to go or wash your hands.
They have a lot of kitchenware and many local themed items (nearby College shirts, etc, local BBQ sauces and honey, etc).
They have a large selection of fudge that is pretty good (Try the Praline or Pecan Praline!! our favorite), several different types of jerky and other items.
If you have never been, you have to try one. Gas/Diesel may be the cheapest around, sometimes not, they also have 0% Ethanol at the ones here as well as DEF at the pumps.

Up until recently, they were all in Texas. Started here about 40 years ago down near San Antonio.

It will be much much smaller than the Walmart distribution center next to it

That can be said for any commercial entity. At Least Buc-ees pays well, has lots of economical benefits and provides several quality items. Can't say that about all commercial entities.

Why would it take 2-3 years to build? Supply shortage?
