LAFAYETTE, La. (KPEL News) - Folks in as many as nine states now have the chance to stop by Buc-ee's and see what all they have to offer - and they do offer a lot. But the chain is continuing to grow with more cities all over the country slated to see work begin on a travel center near them.

In fact, this year will see Buc-ee's break ground, build, and even complete construction in a dozen locations. It's always a major investment of that requires land, agreements with local governments, and the right location, but once a Buc-ee's is built, you never seem to see one empty.

Buc-ee's is famous for its freshly made snacks, sandwiches, and jerky. They also have a selection of baked goods and a deli with a variety of hot food options, which is unusual for a convenience store.  Buc-ee's offers a vast array of products, including snacks, beverages, clothing, gifts, and Texas-themed souvenirs - some of which you can now get locally.

Many people visit Buc-ee's not only for convenience but also to shop for unique items. Buc-ee's is known for its exceptionally clean facilities, including spacious and well-maintained restrooms. Cleanliness is a top priority for the chain, and this reputation sets it apart from many other convenience stores and rest stops. Buc-ee's is often seen as a quintessential Texas experience. The chain embraces a Texas-themed aesthetic, with giant beaver mascots, Texas-themed merchandise, and a strong focus on Texas culture.

But it's expanded well beyond Texas. It's moving into Virginia and has confirmed an upcoming Colorado location. The beaver's influence is continuing to grow. Here are the newest locations that we know of.
