Fort Pierce, FL - The highly anticipated fourth Buc-ee's travel center in Florida is one step closer to reality.
The St. Lucie County Commission recently approved a change in sign rules to accommodate the construction of a 100-foot-tall sign at the proposed Buc-ee's location in the area of Indrio Road and I-95.
The new travel center will span 80,000 square feet, feature 120 fuel pumps, and offer ample parking.
The project is expected to create over 1,500 jobs in the state of Florida.
This will be the fourth Buc-ee's location in Florida, joining existing stores in St. Augustine and Daytona Beach.
The company also has plans for a new location in Marion County, where a new interchange on I-75 is being constructed with state funding.
Buc-ee's is known for its unique offerings, including beaver nuggets, brisket sandwiches, and a wide variety of snacks and souvenirs.
