SUMMARY: Construction has begun on Mississippi’s first Buc-ee’s, a popular road stop that is expected to bring increased traffic to the area. The store is projected to be 70,000 square feet, larger than any of the four locations in neighboring Alabama. Buc-ee’s is known for its positive impact on the local economy, creating nearly 200 jobs with above-average pay. Despite being the world’s largest gas station, Buc-ee’s does not cater to big rigs and does not offer gas pumps for 18-wheelers. The store is also well-known for its clean bathrooms, extensive food selection, and world records, such as having the longest car wash. The grand opening is scheduled for December 2024.
