The debut signals a wider push into new states with summer openings already on the calendar.

Overview

  • Buc-ee's opened in Huber Heights on Monday, April 6, drawing long lines before dawn and a noon ribbon cutting with Gov. Mike DeWine and local leaders.
  • The travel center spans about 74,000 square feet, offers 108 fuel pumps and EV charging, runs 24/7, and is expected to add more than 200 jobs.
  • Shoppers packed the aisles for the brand's fresh brisket, jerky, Beaver Nuggets, and spotless restrooms that helped build its devoted following.
