Buc-ee’s just dropped its first Arkansas location in Benton — a 74,000-square-foot gas giant with 120 pumps and 200 new jobs, all while paying above minimum wage. But this isn’t just about Texas expansion; the chain is aggressively scaling up across the U.S., hitting Ohio, Arizona, Virginia, Colorado, and aiming for Louisiana, Kansas, and Wisconsin by 2027. With cult-favorite amenities like pristine restrooms and quirky snacks, Buc-ee’s has built a devoted fanbase — but it’s also drawn legal fire, suing a tiny Ohio corner store over a beaver logo. Even Ohio’s governor weighed in, urging them to back off. The controversy even landed on John Oliver’s radar, who launched squirrel-themed merch as a playful jab — promising to keep it up until the lawsuit settles. All signs point to Buc-ee’s accelerating its rollout, undeterred by lawsuits, with plans stretching to 2031.
