Buc-ee's in Florida: A Deep Dive (That Doesn't Involve Jerky)
Ah, Buc-ee's. The name conjures up images of overflowing gas pumps, walls of candy, and restrooms cleaner than your grandma's china cabinet. But for us Floridians, the question lingers: just how many Buc-ee's are gracing our sunshine state with their giant beaver presence? Buckle up, buttercup, because we're about to dive deeper than a gator in a swamp of mystery.
The Current Count: More Than You Can Shake a Beaver Nugget At (But Probably Not That Many)
Hold your horses (or should we say, armadillos?) As of today, May 19th, 2024, there are two Buc-ee's locations operating in Florida. One is in Daytona, the other in Saint Augustine. Now, two might seem like a measly number compared to the Buc-ee's bonanza happening in Texas, but hey, we're working our way up the Buc-ee's ladder!
A Glimpse into the Future: Buc-ee's on the Rise!
But wait, there's more! The Buc-ee's gods have smiled upon us mere mortals. A third Buc-ee's is on the horizon, slated to open soon in Ocala. This one promises to be a whopper, potentially claiming the title of world's largest convenience store. Now that's something to write home about (or at least post on Instagram)!
Here's the juicy gossip: This Ocala Buc-ee's will boast a mind-blowing 120 gas pumps and a whopping 28 EV charging stations. Plus, you can bet there will be enough restrooms to rival a small amusement park (because, let's face it, Buc-ee's bathrooms are practically a tourist attraction in themselves).
The Moral of the Story? Patience is a Virtue (Especially When It Comes to Buc-ee's)
So, there you have it, folks. The Buc-ee's situation in Florida is on the upswing. While we might not have a Buc-ee's on every corner just yet, the future is looking bright (and hopefully filled with plenty of Beaver Nuggets).
