ST. LUCIE COUNTY, Fla. — Fans of Beaver Nuggets rejoice: a brand new Buc-ee's is in the works, and it will be located right here in Florida.
The gas station chain with a cult following submitted plans for its fourth location in the Sunshine State. It's currently proposed for the southeast corner of Indrio Road and Interstate 95 near Fort Pierce in North St. Lucie County.
The news comes as the opening date of an Ocala location nears, which Buc-ee's plans to be 80,000 square feet. The company said its size would make it the largest convenience store in the world, beating out its Sevierville location.
Other Florida locations include St. Augustine and Daytona Beach.
With locations all across the southeast, Buc-ee's became well-known (and well-loved) for its snacks, hot food and clean bathrooms.
In 2019, Jim Ficken was fined $30,000 for overgrown grass and his lawsuit brought national attention to Dunedin. In an I-Team follow through five years in the making, we'll show you how our reporting prompted change that ultimately brought closure to the legal battle.
