Buc-ee’s sets sights on East Coast with plans for first Virginia store

In a Facebook post on Monday, March 6, Buc-ee’s announced that it intended on gracing the residents of Virginia with its newest store.

The store, if all goes according to plan, will be located in New Kent County, Virginia, along Interstate 64, due east of Richmond. It will be a 74,000-square-foot Buc-ee’s, which is the exact size of the proposed store reportedly headed to DeForest, Wisconsin. 

Located at exit 211 on I-64, Buc-ee’s will have direct competition with a nearby Love’s Travel Stop and Pilot Travel Center, though if you read last week’s piece on the Wisconsin Buc-ee’s, the company believes that people know they are “going to a Buc-ee’s before they get in the car.”

The Virginia location promises 120 gas pumps, 557 parking spaces, 24 Tesla charging positions, and 10 spots for RVs and buses. As expected, no 18-wheelers allowed.

According to the post, Buc-ee’s has submitted a conditional use permit to the New Kent County’s Planning and Zoning department. The company says it is working with the Virginia Department of Transportation and New Kent County staff to “evaluate the transportation improvements required by the project.” Those improvements include:

  • Coordination of design and construction efforts with the ongoing I-64 widening project.
  • Implementation of anticipated overpass revisions/additions required to serve the project and surrounding commercial development.
  • Project schedule coordination to ensure required traffic improvement completion is synced with project completion.

If it is approved and construction moves along as planned, the store will open in 2027, bringing the first Buc-ee’s to Virginia.

This keeps the dream alive of seeing a sitting president purchase Beaver Nuggets on TikTok, if the app isn’t first banned by that president.
