Buc‑ee’s expands with new Virginia travel center and delayed Wisconsin store

The Texas‑based convenience‑store chain Buc‑ee’s received approval to build a massive travel center in Stafford County, Virginia, directly off Interstate 95. The proposed site will feature a 74,000‑square‑foot store and 120 fuel pumps, positioning it as the closest Buc‑ee’s to New York State once opened. A federal traffic study must be completed before construction, which could add 1.5 years, and the overall build time is estimated at three to four years.

In Wisconsin, construction began this week on the company’s northernmost location in Oak Creek, about 15 miles south of Milwaukee. The opening has been pushed from early 2027 to early 2028, with officials citing a major sewer‑expansion project as a key factor in the delay. The 73,370‑square‑foot store will include 120 fuel pumps, 20 electric‑vehicle charging stations and is expected to create roughly 175 full‑time jobs.
