There are currently two Buc-ee's locations open in Florida – one in Daytona Beach and another in St. Augustine.

Supersized rest stop destination, Buc-ee's, opened its largest location to date in Luling, Texas on Monday, June 10, proving yet again that everything's bigger in the Lone Star State.

The Ocala location will be the third to open, and now the franchise has announced a fourth location being planned for Fort Pierce off Interstate 95. With all the current and future stores having locations on the east coast, the Ocala location is the only one that will serve central Florida.

Buc-ee's is known for food, shopping, big and clean bathrooms. Buc-ee's fans cite the food.

Florida's newest location is scheduled to open in 2025 and will reportedly include an 80,000-square-foot travel center with more than 100 gas pumps. The Buc-ee's location will sit just east of I-75 near Highway 326 in Ocala. Florida currently has two Buc-ee's locations. One is in Daytona Beach and the other is in St.

If each store does $305.5 Million/year, then Buc-ee's does $15.3 Billion in Total Revenue/year. This makes it the 25th largest privately held company in the US by revenue, ahead of companies like McKinsey, Menard's, Bloomberg and Edward Jones, and just behind companies like Wawa, Meijer, and Fidelity.

On the plus side, the new Ocala Buc-ee's, with its row after row of popular store-brand snacks, Beaver nuggets, in-house-created BBQ sandwiches and jerky, beaver-based decor and T-shirts, dozens of scrupulously clean bathrooms, and much, much more, will definitely be the biggest one in Florida.

Buc-ee's looks like it's opening a fourth Florida location, this one in St. Lucie County. Miami-Dade and Broward don't have a Buc-ee's yet, so the Fort Pierce site would be the closest to South Florida, after Daytona Beach, St. Augustine and Ocala.
