Buc-ee’s, the popular Texas-based gas station chain, is set to break ground on its first North Carolina location in Mebane on June 10. This marks a significant expansion for the company into the Tar Heel State, bringing its unique brand of large-scale convenience stores to a new audience.
Location and Size
The new Buc-ee’s will be situated on a 34-acre site along Trollingwood-Hawfields Road, conveniently located near the I-40/I-85 interchange. According to a Buc-ee’s spokesperson, the Mebane location will be approximately 75,000 square feet, making it larger than the nearest Buc-ee’s in Florence, South Carolina.
Opening Timeline
The Mebane Buc-ee’s is scheduled to open its doors in late 2027. This timeline allows for the construction of the expansive facility, which is known for offering a wide array of products and services, including fuel, food, and merchandise.
Infrastructure Support
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is collaborating with Buc-ee’s to ensure adequate access points to the new gas station. This partnership aims to facilitate smooth traffic flow and accessibility for the expected influx of visitors to the location.
Buc-ee’s expansion into North Carolina is a testament to the company’s growing popularity and its commitment to providing comprehensive services to travelers and locals alike. The new Mebane location is anticipated to become a significant landmark in the area, offering a unique shopping experience.
