St. Lucie County-Buc-Ee filed an application for a permit on February 7 to bring the mega size of the Texas gas stations chain in Talahasi.
BUC-EE opened first place in Florida in February 2021 in St. Augustine, followed by a place on the Dayton Beach a month later. Since then, there has been a place in Okala to become third, and BUC-EE has applied for St. Lucy County, near Fort Pierce and Talahasi.
If both applications were approved, it would lead to five BUC-EEs.
Here’s what you know about BUC-EE’s arrival in St. Lucy County.
When does BUC-EE come in St. Lucy County?
In January, BUC-EE presented a final plan on the site for a new location north of Fort Pierce.
Over a year of various district approvals, the final plan of the site is expected to be reviewed, which means that construction can start without the need for more votes of the district committee.
St. Lucy County spokesman Eric Gill said that on Thursday, the internal development review committee was planned to start browsing the plan this week or the next. Once approved by staff, BUC-EE employees have previously said that construction usually takes 12-15 months from the start of the doors.
With this timeline, the date of opening the BUC-EE on the shore of the treasures can be sometime in 2026.
Where does BUC-EE go to St. Lucy County?
BUC-EE’s proposal is located in the southeast quadrant of Indrio Road and Interstate 95 Rentchange, north of Fort Pierce.
The project also includes new roads to help in traffic. Instead of entering the Indrio Road directly, a new Koblegard Road extension will be built with two entrances to the parking lot on the new road.
The site plan shows BUC-EE with the following specifications:
- 76,245 square meters of retail shop
- 778 parking spaces
- 611 Standard parking spaces
- 19 parking spaces available with disabilities
- 10 bus parking spaces
- 120 gas pumps
- 18 charging spaces for electric vehicles
What is the most famous BUC-EE for?
Texas -based chain operates places in Texas, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee and South Carolina.
It is known for its large places, offering products such as home decor, clothing, grilled items, beef, foude, breast sandwiches, candied nuts and brand breakfast products. BUC-EE’s is also known for its clean bathrooms, cheap gas and car washes.
