Buc-ee’s to open first Indiana location in Greenwood

The Greenwood Common Council has approved plans for the first Buc-ee’s location in Indiana. The $85 million project will be situated in Greenwood, located approximately 11 miles south of downtown Indianapolis, off Interstate 65 and Worthsville Road.

The development is expected to feature a 74,000-square-foot retail store and 120 gas pumps. To address potential infrastructure issues, Buc-ee’s plans to invest between $13 million and $15 million in road improvements near the site.

Despite the approval, the project has met with local concerns. School officials have expressed worry regarding increased traffic during peak hours due to the proximity of two schools. Additionally, some residents have argued that the commercial development conflicts with the city's objective of maintaining a primarily residential area around the interchange.
