Buc-ee’s is officially making its way to the Treasure Coast, but drivers eager to stop at the popular Texas-based travel center will have to wait a little longer.
As of July 2026, Buc-ee’s has not announced an official grand opening date for its Fort Pierce-area location. The company currently estimates that the new store will open sometime in 2027, although the timeline could change depending on construction progress and permitting.
Where Will the Fort Pierce Buc-ee’s Be Located?
The new Buc-ee’s will be built in north St. Lucie County, just north of Fort Pierce, at the:
- Southeast corner of Interstate 95 and Indrio Road
The location will serve travelers along Florida’s busy I-95 corridor and is expected to become a major stop for visitors heading to and from South Florida, Orlando, and the Treasure Coast.
What Will the New Buc-ee’s Include?
Like other Buc-ee’s locations across the country, the Fort Pierce travel center is expected to feature a massive convenience store and extensive fueling options.
Current plans include:
- Approximately 76,245 square feet
- 120 gas pumps
- 18 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations
- More than 700 parking spaces
- An estimated 175 to 200 new jobs
The development will become one of the largest travel centers on Florida’s east coast.
Why Is Buc-ee’s So Popular?
Founded in Texas, Buc-ee’s has earned a loyal following thanks to its oversized convenience stores, famously clean restrooms, wide selection of fresh food, homemade fudge, barbecue, jerky, bakery items, and extensive merchandise.
The chain has rapidly expanded throughout the Southeast, with several locations already operating across Florida.
Is Construction Underway?
Planning and permitting for the Fort Pierce-area Buc-ee’s are ongoing. While construction activity continues, the company has not released a specific month or day for the grand opening.
Travelers should expect additional updates as the project moves closer to completion.
