2 New Florida Buc-ee’s Locations To Look Forward To

Author Diana Beasley

It’s the store that has become all of the rage across social media platforms, like Tik Tok, Facebook and Instagram. It’s Buc-ee’s! And now we are learning that two new Florida Buc-ee’s locations are in the works.

Florida Buc-ee’s Locations

This is super exciting news! Currently, there are two locations in Florida already open, one in Daytona Beach and the second in St. Augustine. Unfortunately, these two new Florida Buc-ee’s locations won’t be in Southwest Florida, but they will be near the paths of our road trips to the northern part of the state.

The third location in Florida will be in Ocala. The Ocala Buc-ee’s location is located just off of I-75, and will be over 80,000 square feet when it opens, making it the largest convenient store in the world.

The fourth location in the works will be on Florida’s Treasure Coast in St. Lucie County, according to a report from ClickOrlando.com. It’s currently proposed for the southeast corner of Indrio Road and I-95 near Fort Pierce.

Exact opening dates for both of the new Florida Buc-ee’s locations are not available at this time.

If you’ve not been to a Buc-ee’s in your travels, it’s a glorified gas station with delicious hot foods and snacks, like Beaver Nuggets, sausage on a stick, pickled items, and more Buc-ee’s merchandise than you could ever dream of.

6 Popular Fast Food Joints Southwest Florida Is Missing Out On

  • Raising Cane's

    I think this one goes without saying.  Raising Cane’s has gained so much popularity from social media recently, and with huge collaborations, like Post Malone and Barstool Sports.  According to The Raising Cane’s website, their concept is simple and unique.  They say they only have ONE LOVE – quality chicken finger meals!

    Raising Cane’s is inching closer to Fort Myers.  They’ve got 16 locations in Florida, the closest to us is in Clearwater, FL.

  • Whataburger

    OK!  I have been to Whataburger and it is delicious.  Think drive-thru really late at night when you need something greasy in your belly.  There are 45 locations in Florida, but the closest to us in SWFL is all the way in St. Augustine.

  • Bojangles

    Another chicken joint.  I’ve stopped at a Bojangles many, many times for breakfast in North Carolina and the country ham biscuit is my go to!!!  Another must try, the Bo-Berry.

    Right now, they’ve got one Florida location located in Clermont, about three hours north of us in SWFL.

  • Jack In The Box

    I think I went to a Jack In The Box while on vacation in Hawaii like 20 years ago and I don’t recall it knockin’ my socks off.  But, I do see Jack In The Box getting some love on TikTok, so we might be missing out.  They stay open late with a typical fast food menu of burgers, chicken sandwiches, CURLY FRIES, chicken fingers and shakes.

    Like In-N-Out, no Jack In The Box locations in Florida or even close by.  The closest store is in California…whomp, whomp.

  • Del Taco

    Another fast food place I haven’t tried, but I can bet I would love.  What’s not to love?  It’s Mexican fast food, what could go wrong.  As all of the other places I’ve mentioned, I learned about Del Taco on TikTok, from one of my favorite influencers, SnackQween.

    From what I can tell, it’s a lot like Taco Bell.  They’ve got 2 for $3 Mix-N-Match deals and are open late.

    There are several Del Taco locations in Florida and the closest isn’t that far from SWFL, it’s in Bradenton.  There are two locations there, one on 14th Street W and the second on Manatee Ave.  That’s a doable drive for sure, especially a great option as you make your way to Tampa or Orlando for summer road trips.
