When Will The Louisiana Buc-ee’s Open? Here’s What We Know…

Great news for Buc-ee's fans in Louisiana! Buc-ee's, the famous travel center known for its massive stores and amazing snacks, is rumored to be planning to open a location near Lafayette. While there's no exact date yet, here’s what we know about the plans and what fans can expect.

Buc-ee's is not just a gas station—it's a one-of-a-kind travel stop that people love to visit. With its giant stores, tasty snacks, and super clean restrooms, Buc-ee's is a favorite spot for road trippers nationwide.

Buc-ee's started in Texas in 1982. It was founded by Arch "Beaver" Aplin III and Don Wasek. The first store was in Lake Jackson, Texas, much smaller than the huge Buc-ee's we see today. The store's mascot, a beaver named Buc-ee, comes from Aplin's nickname, “Beaver.” Buc-ee's quickly became known for having the "Cleanest Restrooms in America," which is why people love stopping there.

Over the years, Buc-ee's has grown a lot. You can now find Buc-ee's in several states, including Texas, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, and South Carolina. There are even more stores planned to open in new states like Louisiana.

Our friends over at 97.3 The Dawg have given us a little bit of information when it comes to the latest Louisiana Buc-ee's location. Most of the rumors suggest that the Buc-ee’s near Lafayette will be built close to the I-10 and I-49 Interchange. This spot is perfect for a Buc-ee's because it’s a major travel route with lots of cars passing by every day.

As the opening of the Ruston location gets closer, more information about the Lafayette Buc-ee's will likely come out. Everyone is keeping an eye out for updates, and hoping to hear official news soon.
