💡 Pro Tip: Living in a major city without an open store in town? Plan a weekend road trip! Most major cities in the Midwest and South have a Buc-ee’s mega-store less than a 90-minute drive away.

Buc-ee’s Gas Pump Counts — Every Location Ranked (2026)

BBuc-ee’s is world-famous for its massive fueling islands! Here is the complete gas pump count breakdown ranked across all 55+ locations.

A Quick Note on Terminology:

Buc-ee’s officially describes its gas station capacity in terms of “fueling positions.” One fueling position equals one individual gas nozzle. Because each physical pump island serves two vehicles simultaneously (one on each side), a “120-position” Buc-ee’s is built around roughly 60 two-sided pump islands.

Mega Locations — 100+ Fueling Positions

These are Buc-ee’s largest flagship travel centers, featuring over 100 fuel pumps to keep highway traffic moving with zero wait times:

Location	Positions	Square Footage	Notes
Luling, TX	120	75,593 sq ft	World’s largest Buc-ee’s (Reopened June 2024)
Sevierville, TN	120	74,707 sq ft	World’s 2nd largest; 24 Tesla Supercharger stalls
Katy, TX	120	—	First 120-pump location (Opened 2017); 24 Tesla stalls
New Braunfels, TX	120	66,335 sq ft	Former world record holder (2012–2023)
Virginia (Rockingham Co.)	120+	74,000 sq ft	Features 20 high-speed EV chargers
Ohio (Huber Heights)	108	74,000 sq ft	First Midwest Buc-ee’s (Opened April 2026)

💡 Pro Tip: Refueling at a 100+ pump mega-store? Pull up to the outer rows farthest from the building entrance—they almost always have open pumps even on busy holiday weekends!

Standard & Smaller-Format Buc-ee’s Locations

Not every Buc-ee’s is a 120-pump behemoth! Depending on location size and highway traffic, pump counts fall into distinct categories:

Large Travel Centers — 60 to 100 Fueling Positions

Most full-size Buc-ee’s travel centers built outside of mega-flagships fall into this mid-to-large range. This includes the majority of stores across Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, Colorado, Missouri, Mississippi, and Florida.

Smaller / Original-Format Texas Stores — Under 60 Positions

Several of Buc-ee’s original Texas locations—particularly in smaller coastal towns or along secondary state highways—operate on a cozy neighborhood format with fewer than 60 fueling positions. Examples include Alvin, Angleton, Brazoria, Eagle Lake, Freeport, Port Lavaca, and Wharton.

New 2026 Openings — Confirmed Pump Counts:

Location	Planned Pumps	Notes
Goodyear, AZ	120	Arizona’s first Buc-ee’s (Opening June 22, 2026)
Benton, AR	100+	Arkansas’s first Buc-ee’s (Opening August 2026)
San Marcos, TX	100	Community-negotiated cap; features 26 EV chargers

💡 Pro Tip: Smaller legacy stores in Texas offer a charming, nostalgic look at where Buc-ee’s started back in the 1980s and 1990s! Just keep in mind they feature standard gas station food options rather than the giant Texas Round Up BBQ counters.

Buc-ee’s EV Charging Locations — Complete Guide (2026)

As electric vehicles become more popular on American highways, Buc-ee’s is rapidly expanding high-speed EV charging banks across its largest sites:

Location	Tesla Supercharger Stalls	Max Charging Speed	Other EV Compatibility
Sevierville, TN	24	Up to 250 kW	Confirm locally on site
Katy, TX	24	Up to 250 kW	Confirm locally on site
Luling, TX	16	Up to 250 kW	Confirm locally on site
Rockingham County, VA	20	Fast Charging	Confirmed
Goodyear, AZ (Opening June 2026)	—	Fast Charging	Included in site plans
San Marcos, TX (Opening July 2026)	26	Fast Charging	Confirmed in city agreement

💡 Pro Tip: EV charging stations at Buc-ee’s are always placed in a dedicated, brightly lit zone away from main gasoline lanes. Plug in your vehicle first, then head inside for a 20-minute food break while your battery tops off!

EV Planning Tips & Delayed Locations Tracker

⚡ Essential EV Planning Tips:

Dedicated Zones: Look for EV directional signage at the store entrance—chargers are separated from passenger gas lanes.
Supercharger Access: Tesla Superchargers at Buc-ee’s are open to all Tesla models. Non-Tesla EVs should look for dedicated CCS/CHAdeMO chargers or bring a compatible adapter.
Rapid Speeds: Charging speeds up to 250 kW can add 150+ miles of range in just 20 to 25 minutes while you grab lunch.
Live Status: Apps like PlugShare are the most reliable tool to verify open charging stalls before pulling off the highway.

Buc-ee’s Delayed Locations — Updated Status ( 2026)

Building mega travel centers requires major highway interchanges, water mains, and power grids. Here is the honest status on Buc-ee’s projects that have experienced timeline delays:

Location	Original Target	Current Status	Delay Reason
Gallaway, TN	Summer 2026	May 2027	General construction delays
Mebane, NC	Late 2026	Q4 2027	Infrastructure schedule slippage
Oak Grove, KY	Fall 2026	2027 or later	Exit ramp reconstruction + new roundabouts required
West Memphis, AR	2026	June 2028	~2-year highway infrastructure delay
New Kent County, VA	2027	December 2031	Major road construction blocking site access

💡 Pro Tip: Tracking an upcoming store near you? Infrastructure delays like roundabout additions or highway ramp widening are very common for 70,000+ sq ft stores. Treat initial target dates as flexible until physical building framing begins on site!

What Causes These Delays?

Building a 74,000-square-foot travel center with 120 gas pumps takes about 18 to 24 months once active construction starts. So why do some announced locations take much longer to open?

The 3 Major Causes of Project Delays:

Infrastructure Requirements: Mega-stores draw thousands of vehicles per hour, requiring massive exit ramp rebuilds, road widening, or new roundabouts (like Oak Grove, KY).
Permitting & Local Negotiations: Community feedback can lead to scaled-down designs (like Boerne, TX scaling back to 54,000 sq ft) or extended environmental reviews.
External Highway Work: Opening dates are often tied to state department of transportation road projects outside Buc-ee’s control (like New Kent County, VA’s 2031 target).

How to Gauge Announced Opening Dates:

Dates Within 3 Months: Extremely reliable! Buc-ee’s confirms firm grand opening dates close to completion.
Dates 3 to 12 Months Out: Reasonably reliable, but watch for local roadwork updates.
Dates More Than 12 Months Out: Treat these as target goals rather than promises—large-scale infrastructure projects frequently shift.

💡 Pro Tip: Want to know if a new Buc-ee’s is close to opening? Watch for the beaver sign installation! Buc-ee’s usually raises its giant 100-foot highway sign roughly 4 to 6 weeks before the official ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Best Times to Visit Buc-ee’s — Avoid the Rush

While 100+ gas pumps mean you rarely wait in line for fuel, indoor food stations and registers can get genuinely packed during peak road trip windows!

Peak Travel Windows to Expect Crowds:

All Locations: Thanksgiving Eve, Christmas Eve, Memorial Day, Labor Day, and July 4th weekend.
Texas Stores: Mid-March Spring Break on I-35 (San Marcos & New Braunfels) and late December on I-10.
Florida Stores: March Spring Break & summer weekends (St. Augustine & Daytona Beach).
Sevierville, TN: Summer vacation months & October fall foliage leaf-peeping season.
Florence, SC: Memorial Day through Labor Day beach traffic heading to Myrtle Beach.

Best Low-Traffic Times for Quick Stops:

Weekday Mornings (7:00 AM – 10:00 AM): Before highway travel builds.
Weekday Afternoons (2:00 PM – 4:00 PM): Between lunch and dinner food rushes.
Late Weeknights (After 9:00 PM): Quiet, unhurried, and fully open 24/7!
January & February: The lowest traffic months of the year nationwide.

💡 Pro Tip: Visiting during a crowded weekend? Fuel first, then move your car to a parking spot before going inside. This keeps gas pumps turning over quickly and prevents you from getting blocked in while browsing the store!

Buc-ee’s Expansion: Why It’s Moving So Fast

BIt took Buc-ee’s 36 years to build its first location outside the state of Texas (1982 to 2018). In the short time since, the chain has successfully expanded into 11 additional states—and shows zero signs of slowing down!

🚀 What Drives This Rapid Growth?

Enormous Local Economic Impact: Every new mega-store creates at least 200 to 250 full-time jobs with high starting wages and full benefits, causing state and local governments to actively compete to attract them.
Company-Owned Quality Control: Unlike franchise chains that cut corners, every Buc-ee’s is company-owned and operated. The exact same cleanliness standards, fresh BBQ quality, and friendly service found in Texas show up in Ohio, Virginia, and Georgia.
Targeting 20+ States: At its current pace of construction, Buc-ee’s is on track to operate in more than 20 states by the end of 2027.

💡 Pro Tip: Visiting a brand-new Buc-ee’s during its first week of opening? Download their app in advance so you can scan digital rewards and track live gas prices right at the pump!
