Not just brisket, it is Texas Brisket!

30 acre site just east of 1-75 not far from Highway 236.

I 75 and wildwood makes more sense! Just before the turnpike. The Ocala location seems odd for them unless they are putting in another exit.

By Villages standards, I'd say their prices are very reasonable. $6.99 for a tasty brisket sandwich seems priced right to me.

Tons of snacks for about $3 or less.

25 things you can buy at Buc-ee’s that cost less than a gallon of gas - al.com

Sure they don't offer 2 for $3 hot dogs like Love's but those hot dogs aren't that good anyways.

They tend to pick rural locations right beside an interstate at least from the ones that I've been to. I have a feeling that a 30 acre commercial parcel at 75/44 would cost an enormous amount of money compared to that land around Ocala.

I know why you like the place.. It's because Buc-ee rhymes with Nucky..

We just rolled in from Bu Ceeez's. That's the rich way of saying it. . My lovely healthy eating wife went berserk. She ate like she was going to jail in the morning!

The power of suggestion. I hope nobody starts a thread on Burger King! Yuck!!

Though would rather have a Costco, this is great news - I’ve only been to a Buc-ee’s once, last year on a road trip from New Orleans to Pensacola (in Alabama along The interstate just east of Mobile).

I've never been to or heard of a Buc-ees. If I'm up there I'll try it out.

Link to information about new Buc-ees to be built near Interstate 75 near W. Hwy 326. Note not highway 236.

Will another Buc-ee'''s open in Florida? New location proposed in Marion County

[Heytubes]

Must have been a small Buc’ees with only 50 pumps as most have 120 plus pumps.

I like Buc-ee's. They're building the biggest one ever not far from our northern house (if you consider deep-south Tennessee as "north") in the Pigeon Forge area. It is like the cleanest AM/PM, Sheetz, WaWa, whatever you have ever been in, with bathroom stalls that are actual rooms, not stalls, and about 20x the size the stores you are used to, with a Cracker Barrel style shopping experience, but 20x bigger than Cracker Barrel. They have dozens, if not hundreds of gas pumps, with multiple pumps dedicated to DEF, 100% gas, diesel, etc.

While the Beaver Nuggets are a bit too sweet for me, the jerky and variety are second to none.

I am not one, but there are obsessed fans that rival Disney-aholics. They have FB groups, they go to store openings, they travel the country to get to all the locations, they have online "shoppers" like Barb Escobar who will shop and ship to aficionados not near a Buc-ee's. They are a bit of a destination experience.

Some, however, are not at all impressed- just like there are some that inexplicably hear about Costco and think, "meh."

[Miboater]

I stopped at the Buc-ees just south of Macon, Georgia on a trip up to Michigan and was very impressed. That one has 250 gas pumps at that one and the cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen! The Bar-B-Q was really good and their jerky selection is incredible.

Will help with long trips north. But with its location north of Ocala may offset the lower gas prices and the travel to get gas on a regular basis.

Being from Texas, I love Buccee’s! The food, the clean baths, the shopping- just need some tables outside for eating. My son even named their dog Bucc-ee😂

We have on 4 miles from our house. 3 yrs. ago everything was very cheap. Gasoline is still the cheapest place to get it. Bathrooms are unbelievably nice. You’ll love it, I think you will.

I was 98 Lbs when we found out about Buc-ees. I'm not 98 Lbs anymore! Our first visit was in Texas. I guess that must make the difference but I like meat from Iowa to and just about anywhere else is fine by me.
