GEORGIA - Georgia's love affair with Buc-ee's, the iconic Texas-based travel center chain, is set to grow even stronger. Known for its immaculately clean restrooms, countless fuel pumps, and a cult following for its Beaver Nuggets and fresh barbecue, Buc-ee's has announced plans for two new locations in the Peach State: one in Brunswick slated for a summer 2025 opening, and another in Monroe County expected in early 2026. These additions will further solidify Buc-ee's growing presence in Georgia, offering more convenient stops for travelers and new local employment opportunities.
Brunswick: Coastal Georgia Gets Ready for Buc-ee's (July 2025)
Travelers along the I-95 corridor in coastal Georgia can soon look forward to a new landmark pitstop.
- Location: The Brunswick Buc-ee's will be strategically located off I-95 at Exit 29, a busy interchange providing access to Brunswick and the Golden Isles.
- Opening Timeline: The highly anticipated opening is targeted for July 2025, making it just around the corner for summer travelers.
- Expected Features: While specific details are typical of new Buc-ee's builds, expect a massive facility – likely around 74,000 square feet – featuring 120 fueling positions, the famously pristine restrooms, and a vast retail space filled with Buc-ee's signature snacks (including Beaver Nuggets, jerky, and fresh fudge), freshly prepared food (like their renowned brisket sandwiches), unique gifts, apparel, and local Georgia products.
Monroe County: Buc-ee's Heads to Central Georgia (Early 2026)
Following the Brunswick opening, Buc-ee's is set to expand its reach into Central Georgia.
- Location: The Monroe County Buc-ee's will be situated off I-75 at Exit 188 (Russell Parkway). This location positions the travel center to serve another major interstate route in Georgia.
- Opening Timeline: This location is projected for an early 2026 opening.
- Anticipated Amenities: Similar to other large Buc-ee's, this store is expected to offer a significant number of fuel pumps, a large convenience store with a wide array of food and retail items, and the brand's commitment to cleanliness and customer service.
What Makes Buc-ee's a Destination?
For those unfamiliar with the Buc-ee's phenomenon, these are not your average gas stations. They are known for:
- Legendary Restrooms: Consistently winning awards for cleanliness and size.
- Vast Fueling Options: A high number of pumps to minimize wait times (typically for passenger vehicles only, as 18-wheelers are not permitted).
- Abundant Food Choices: From in-house barbecue and freshly made sandwiches to a bakery, extensive jerky wall, and countless snack options, including the iconic Beaver Nuggets.
- Extensive Retail: Offering everything from clothing and home goods to hunting gear and unique Texas-themed (and now Georgia-themed) novelties.
- Friendly Service: A reputation for helpful and friendly employees.
Georgia's Growing Buc-ee's Footprint:
These two new locations will join Buc-ee's existing and highly popular stores in Georgia, including those in Warner Robins, Leeds, Calhoun, and Adairsville, further cementing the brand's expansion across the Southeast. Each new Buc-ee's brings significant economic impact, creating hundreds of jobs and becoming a major draw for both local residents and interstate travelers.
The upcoming Buc-ee's openings in Brunswick (July 2025) and Monroe County (early 2026) are exciting news for Georgia. These massive travel centers are set to offer more than just fuel and snacks; they promise a unique and memorable roadside experience that has captured the hearts (and appetites) of travelers across the South.
