The much-anticipated grand opening of the first Buc-ee’s in Missouri happened this Monday, and the excitement of the locals was palpable. People lined up before the sun rose to be among the first customers of the massive 53,000 square foot travel center located along Interstate 44 in North Springfield.
The Texas-based chain, which currently operates around 40 locations, predominantly in the South, has become popular among tourists from all over the nation, thanks to its wide selection of food, snacks, and merchandise.

The chain also holds the title for operating the world’s largest convenience store, the 74,000 square foot location in Sevierville, Tennessee, which opened last summer. The store is the perfect pit stop for travelers, with its variety of amenities such as a car wash, an ATM, and an expansive selection of food and snacks that can be enjoyed in the store’s dining area.
The store also offers a variety of merchandise, ranging from apparel to home decor, making it a great destination for shoppers. Moreover, Buc-ee’s is well-known for its clean bathrooms, and its Missouri location is no exception. The store has invested heavily in its restrooms, which are spacious and well-maintained, and even feature a unique feature – a “bathroom attendant” who can help people with their needs.
Buc-ee’s is a favorite among locals and tourists alike for its wide selection of food, merchandise, and services.
